Perth Mint Coins
The Perth Mint of Australia, located in Perth, Western Australia, is a fully-operational
mint producing legal tender precious metal coins
for distribution in Australia and all over the world. Three years after construction
began, the mint opened its doors on June 20, 1899. The mint was initially founded
as a branch of the Royal Mint of The United Kingdom to produce British
gold coins for use as legal tender in the colony. Although the production
of gold coinage ceased in 1931, the Perth Mint continued to produce much of Australia’s
circulating legal tender until 1984. Since then, the sole responsibility of the
Perth Mint of Australia, according to the Currency Act of Australia, has been the
production of legal tender precious metal coinage. Today the Perth Mint stands as
the oldest operating mint in Australia, and one of the oldest in the world, producing
some of the finest modern bullion coins.
