Fascinating! I love the fact that this mint is soooo open and accessible. I wish all of the mints here in the United States made jewelry as well. Well done, Australia!
Im addicted to the Lunar series! Both their silver and gold is amazing! Just came across this video will one day get to the mint for a tour since Im always in the Philippines.
In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.
yeah... & at 5:15... that guy is holding a piece of cardboard painted gold.... & calling it an actual nugget. Imaging what that monster would weigh if it was solid gold????
Growing up in Perths southern suburbs not 50km from the mint I visited it several times. School excursions, family trip and even once when my plane was delayed. After moving to Kalgoorlie for a couple of years I decided to get a metal detector after ending up in Toodyay. Made a few bob out of it too. I now live in Tasmania and people here don't realise what is under their feet, flipping hell mate.
Very impressive facility and it's clear that Perth mint knocks the spots off our dismal, boring mint in Llantrissant Wales. Never been so bored in my life.....well done to the AUS mint!
Yeah The Perth Mint has really pushed forward in recent years in both quality and more luxury goods. They even put Australia's federal mint to shame. Note: Australia has two mints.
How sad that with our natural resources and expertise we no longer have any gold reserves in Australia. Plundered and wasted away by greedy politicians.
At least you had real worth from selling them. Meanwhile Britain sells 401 tons (or 60%) of it's gold reserves in 1999-2002 for a mere $1,500,000,000 (Today's market value - $25,800,340,000). Gordon Brown should be on trial for crimes against the British Economy!
@@TemplarsCreed Nah our PM John Howard sold 2 thirds of our Gold reserves during the same period when it was at record low prices. He used the proceeds to pay down debt and market his government as great economic managers.
So you watch a video and you believe it? Rule number one, never ever pass off the truth unless you've seen it with your own two eyes, that is the only way to prevent rumor conjecture and hearsay. For all you know, there could be hundreds of tons of gold, when you think it's all been plundered because you watched this video.
Yes you have to be very careful when buying rare metals such as gold. Even buying a physical bar can be dangerous as it may be fake, eve from a respectful retailer. Best to buy directly from the mint I find. Any rare metals brought from the Perth mint either physical, shares or in storage is guaranteed by the Perth mint and Western Australian government under the Gold Corporation Act 1987.
I pray to Almighty God to bless everyone in the Global World based on Friendship Mutual Understanding Peaceful Coexistence Non Violence And JUSTICE FOR ALL 🙏
ACCADACAstkr sent me. This is an amazing video. Love the history and seeing how its done. Just amazing, and easy to see why the Perth mints quality is unrivaled.
@@stevexracer you should probably review your 'facts'. Perth mint did nothing wrong, it's just China with a weird, dumb rule on silver. If the impurities had been copper or any other metal besides silver, there would have been no issue. Perth mint has since upped it's minimum base purity to address the issue.
@@stevexracer they got 99.99%, you flop. That wasn't the problem, the problem was with what that other 0.01% exceeded 50ppm of SILVER. Had that 0.01% been nickel or some other crap metal, it wouldn't have been a problem. That's it. Never diluted that 99.99% once. Their actual minimum refinement was around 99.992% and they changed it following this to a minimum of 99.996% refinement which ensures that the impurity ppm cannot possibly exceed 50 ppm again. Beijing needs to stop trying to cherry pick what the impurities of a bar are, they are the ONLY country with these dumb requirements, so no, to those that ignored the hyped Chinese story and actually bothered finding out what the issue was, we already know it was a non event and Perth mint more than 'made up for it' when they never did a thing wrong. Do your homework
Australia has two mints, The royal Australian Mint (federal) and the Perth mint (Western Australia state) which has an exclusive agreement with the federal mint to also make money and bullion. The Perth mint makes a lot more luxury goods and coins compared to our Federal or the US mint too.
@@chipblock2854 oh I'm pretty sure one hour is enough time to make it worth your while. If you can carry 100 lbs which is totally possible do that 10 times you got a thousand lbs gold being even 1000 an ounce. Do the math. How much you got?
I have done some contractor work in one of the world's largest open pit gold mines, in Suriname, and have held 80 pound bars of gold (from the day's production) and I have to say, it was pretty cool. But that mine isn't set up as a tourist attraction like the Perth mint.
Let me check last night's Mega millions numbers 🤣.. I'd get into buying gold bullion if I'd hit it. 💯👍 Some cash and gold in my possession alright. A million or two of each.
@TheAlexagius all gold nuggets are pretty much pure gold and are generally solid. I have never seen a single one that had air pockets in, certainly not to that degree. A quick google search shows the real nugget weighs 35.3kg and required 2 men to lift it. Certainly not something you could spin round with one hand.

I've been there in 2009. Yesterday i bought my first 10 gram Perth Mint goldbar :-) A funny thing to have. It's so incredibly small but already 1/4th of most people their monthly income, nice & shiny crazy stuff :D
I'm guessing the same reason bread comes in loaves not perfect rectangles or squares - comes out of the mould easier that way. They do make minted bars too you know, just don't pour them like that
For an easy safe & profitable way to buy gold exposure you should consider gold miners in you portfolio. Choose low debt companies in low soveriegn risk countries, with good quality projects in the pipeline. In times of prolonged downturn these companies preform well because mines extracting less valuable materials wind back. Equipment, skilled people & services are freed up at cheaper prices due to lower demand. A gold producer I invested in has just had an 8% reduction in mining costs.
There's places like this all over the world pumping out gold and silver coins, tokens, and bars. I wonder how valuable gold and silver really are. If things crumble like everyone is predicting a can of ravioli might be worth then what gold is worth now.
lol, your comment actually made me burst out laughing because I was thinking the same thing when they showed the shot with the scones and everyone there just 'chillin' as if they owned the freakin' world. That was 'high ballin' for real. I have to get something from this facility.
no its not. its cos if you wanna buy them from a bullion dealer, they charge spot, but if you want to sell them to a bullion dealer, they take about 85-90% of spot. thats why its usually cheaper to buy on ebay than from a dealer. Because privately, both buyer and seller can split the spread.
Fascinating! I love the fact that this mint is soooo open and accessible. I wish all of the mints here in the United States made jewelry as well. Well done, Australia!
Canada made the first coloured coins.
Canada has the only 99999 gold in the world.
Perth mint does really produce high end quality, I’m lucky enough to have seen some.
Being in perth and being a short drive from the mint is a stackers dream
@@Solinvic Except nigh everything in Australia wants to kill you.
The Perth Mint puts out the most beautiful coins, and I am a proud owner of a few of those.
They made my favorite coin! I'd love to visit the museum some time soon hopefully.
i lived in perth for a few years, but never knew about the mint, now i wish i had gone to see all that gold
Im addicted to the Lunar series! Both their silver and gold is amazing! Just came across this video will one day get to the mint for a tour since Im always in the Philippines.
G0ld
great place to visit ...and to see people behind glass just banging out coins ...and lifting the gold bar ...really good tour ...memories cheers

Most of that increase in price has been because of inflation
The Perth Mint stands alone, at the top of the quality chain !
Just made a purchase last night.. Bring on the 2014's !
How us precious metals stackers feel out stack looks like when we pull it out of the shoe box. Haha.
Facts! 😂
I have never been so overwhelmed with the feelings of criminality before watching this video.
I'd never work there i would be arrested in an hour flat.
I would be arrested in 3 to 5 minutes
I’ll go for 30 seconds.
I cant imagine what youd have to do to GET that job

I love our Perth mint. I go regularly. Our greatest state asset.
Enjoyed the W.A. Pavilion at Brisbane’s Expo ‘88. Cantered on that beautiful metal.😀
lovely presentation, thank you perth mint

And there are also 4 mints in australia... sydney melbourne perth canberra.

Your comment has aged well.
i ve been here before 2012 i had a picture with this place memorable place
Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this very interesting video?
I have a few grams of gold from the Perth Mint. Very good quality packaging & product.
gods own country thats Australia. ...only heaven on earth....the best place on earth to live..god bless Australia. ...
The table in the thumbnail looks like it’s been holding gold bars for a hundred twenty five years.

Who doesn't love golds . lol
Has anyone ever tried to perform a heist in the place? Compared to Ft. Knox this place doesn't look very protected.
Read up on the "Perth Mint Swindle". It happened in 1982. You may find it interesting.
After watching this documentary, I am considering it, sir...
Matt Morris Thanks!
YOUR ON AN ISLAND think about it
I just need some good music in my head phones and I'll dance through the laser field😆
Silver Kookaburras are still my favorite from Perth.
1 hour alone in this building. That's all I ask. Lol
They will give you the hour but its getting the gold out of there with enough to make it worth your time is another thing.
@438295 a man can dream of dry humping a fat stack of gold

If I was King Charles I Woolf just chill in the mint and watch the gold flow when I got stressed out
1 KILO Gold Bar looks good to watch 🥇🥇🥇
All of my stack is from perth mint. Love their products.

Wow amazing the perth mint. Really puts the US Mint to shame.
Their stuff is way nicer than just about any other mint
I totally want to work there!
Wouldnt trust any govt "guaranteed" govt paper bonds or London banksters... but I would trust Perth Mint
If I worked there I would take samples home every day.
colored coins is one of the worst things to hit the industry. They are worthless.
+Draco Venit well they are still made out of pure gold/silver so worthless isn't exactly the word I would use...
ahah fair point. Though they look tacky. I love many of their other products which are not coloured.
i think the word you looking for is "pointless" instead of "worthless"
im not a big fan off them..you carnt beat plain gold
I've found a few of the canadian colored coins to be beautiful, but otherwise I agree with you.

buying actual gold or silver from the mint is a better, cheaper investment though isn't it
I bet those workers are tempted to just take a box and run for it. I mean look at those beautiful coins.. Jesus christ!
GLAD YOU'RE KEEPING US CURRENT. ITEM ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. WOW!
about as old as the video isn't it
if you put it in your mouth do you get fresh breath? because its mint HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's probably why every thousandth of an ounce is meticulously accounted for.
Love the Perth Mint gold coins.
i just bought this brand bar.
is still good worth it? lol
Very interesting and amazing mint!
I don’t believe gold is as rare as others claim! I want my money’s worth!!!
Always when they mention gold and investment it’s only to “diversify a portfolio” every single time
It's moments like these you need MINTies.
they check how much metal you come in with, and exit with every single day you go there

Teas are really fucking decent.
Sorry, I don’t understand your comment
Very nice, thanks a lot
no its not. its cos if you wanna buy them from a bullion dealer, they charge spot, but if you want to sell them to a bullion dealer, they take about 85-90% of spot. thats why its usually cheaper to buy on ebay than from a dealer. Because privately, both buyer and seller can split the spread.
