I could write so much about this place....but if I did I would spoil your experience! From the very beginning of the tour it was packed with such a lot of information that was not only factual, but delivered in a very entertaining way by the guide. I was held captivated throughout the whole experience and after the tour we were able to spend as long as we wanted, looking at all the gold! We even got a chance to touch an ingot which was in a vault that had a hole in a perspect viewing window! It truly is an amazing place to visit and witness gold being taken from the furnace and poured into a mould! Whilst waiting for the tour to begin ( every hour on the half hour) we were able to look around a sales area. which displayed jewellery of all descriptions, and pink diamonds! They were for sale... but the price tags were far too expensive for me! However, there is another more affordable sales area and as you exit the tour. there is a scale where you can see what your weight in gold is....I was over 8 million AUD!! You can also purchase a personally engraved 24ct Gold plated coin for a very reasonable price. All in all this was a magnificent golden opportunity to learn about gold from its origins to its discovery... development of the goldfields of Coolgardie and Kallgoolie...to its final state. If you are fortunate enough to visit the city of Perth...leave yourself plenty of time to visit this fabulous attraction.

The stunning heritage-listed building holds treasure including rare coins, exclusive jewellery and gold and silver nuggets. The green doors of The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the third Australian branch of Britain’s Royal Mint. Originally our purpose was to refine the gold discovered in Western Australia’s goldfields and turn it into bullion bars and sovereign coins for use throughout the British Empire and beyond. Over the next three decades we produced more than 106 million sovereigns and 735000 half sovereigns from Western Australian gold. Between 1940 and 1984, our minting skills were employed on large scale production of Australian circulating coins. In total, an impressive 438 million pennies, 256 million half-pennies and 1.3 million shillings, together with 855 million decimal 1 cent and 2 cent pieces was created on the coin presses. Discover the stories of Western Australia’s gold rush, the foundation of our heritage building, and witness a live gold pour in the original Melting House. By the time of The Perth Mint’s construction, income from gold was responsible for nearly 90 percent of the colony’s wealth. The Mint operated under British control until 1970, when ownership was transferred to the Western Australian Government.

We visited the Perth Mint to learn about the rich history of gold mining in Western Australia. The tour highlighted the mint's role in creating iconic gold coins and featured impressive exhibits, including the world’s largest gold coin. A highlight was watching a live gold-pouring demonstration, where molten gold was transformed into bars. It was a fascinating glimpse into the region’s gold rush history and craftsmanship. #magicalxmastrip #perth #travel #couplestrip #australiatrip

The Perth Mint is one of the oldest mints in the world that is still in production. Its history dates back to 1899 and it is the last branch of the Royal Mint in the UK that is still in operation in Australia. Walking into the mint is like stepping into a world of gold. Here you will find a huge gold coin weighing over 1,000 kg and worth AUD 139 million, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records; an exhibition of natural gold nuggets mined in Australia, where you can touch a gold bar worth AUD 200,000 with your own hands. Visitors can visit the elegant and dignified protected buildings, exhibition halls, and smelting rooms, watch the operation of the alchemy furnace and alchemist on site, and enjoy the wonderful process of melting gold into gold water, pouring it into molds, and then quenching it into gold bars. The mint not only provides refining services for the gold industry, but also produces a variety of legal tender precious metal coins, such as the Australian Nugget Gold Coin, the Australian Platinum Koala Coin, and the Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin. The mint offers a wide range of experiences for visitors, including making commemorative coins on site, guided tours of historical heritage knowledge, and the opportunity to purchase a variety of commemorative coins, natural gold nuggets, and exquisite jewelry. It is a place with a long history and unique charm, and one that is truly impressive: The century-old mint is full of charm, and the Perth Mint is a shining example of this. The brilliance of gold reflects the light, and the craftsmanship is a testament to the years. The blazing furnace burns with passion, and the gold is forged through a thousand trials. The history is still here, and the cultural treasures will last forever. Perth Mint

#Perth #Australia 🌟 Located in the heart of Perth, with a history of over a hundred years, it is one of the oldest mints still in operation in the world. The mint began operations in June 1899 and became the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom. It was dedicated to refining newly discovered gold mines in eastern Western Australia for the British colonies and minting one-pound and half-pound gold coins for shipment back to the United Kingdom. It was not until 1970 that ownership of the Perth Mint was transferred back to the Western Australian Government. Prior to 1984, the Mint also produced a large number of Australian general currency coins. Now you can appreciate the ancient coin making method and gold melting performances, and see the old gold panning tools. In addition, the museum's vault also specially placed a large gold brick weighing 12.4 kilograms in a transparent cabinet for tourists to reach out and take it. Due to the angle, it is difficult to exert force and almost no one can lift it, but everyone refuses to give it a try. 🌟As a souvenir of your visit, we offer medals that can be engraved with your personal message in just a few minutes. Housed in the heritage rooms once used to receive prospectors' gold, the shop displays many of Australia's greatest natural treasures. Take the bus to Hay St Before Hill St or Goderich St Bennett Street Red Cat 28 and walk for about 7 minutes 📍310 Hay St, East Perth WA 6004
