More information on Perth Mint
This lovely historic building -- built in the 1890s to mint currency from the Kalgoorlie gold rush -- produced the victors' gold medals for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Bullion is still traded here. The key event is a gold pour demonstration (on the hour starting at 10am weekdays, and 10am -- noon on weekends and public holidays). You can also see samples of the 2000 Olympics medals, engrave a medallion with your own message, handle a 400-ounce gold bar, see gold coins being minted, and ogle the country's biggest collection of nuggets. A 30-minute free guided tour departs half an hour before every pour. A shop sells gold coins and nugget jewelry. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
