Perth Mint

The nation's oldest operating mint and one of the oldest mints in the world. Even today it still produces coins and gold bullion from its original premises, albeit now restricted to producing non-circulating coins (which are still legal tender, but worth more than their face value in market value). You can buy and sell gold, jewellery and souvenirs, see the mint in operation and watch molten gold being poured to create gold bars.
