Perth Mint

Perth Mint
Established in 1899, this is Australia’s oldest operating mint and located at 310 Hay Street. It now specialises in the production of silver, gold and platinum commemorative coins and medals. There is a museum, and you can see a demonstration of gold pouring here. You can hold an ingot worth $200,000 (borrowing not permitted) and see the world’s largest collection of natural gold nuggets. The museum is open daily from 9 – 4 and 1pm at weekends.
