The Perth Mint is a world leader in the manufacture and marketing of precious metal coins, medallions and collectables. Housed in one of Australia's most elegant late-19th century heritage buildings, it is the nation's oldest operating mint and one of the oldest mints in the world still producing coins from its original premises.
The Mint is a national award-winning tourist attraction, with more than 120,000 visitors a year.
