Be sure to watch the gold pour - a spectacle in which pure gold is heated to molten temperatures and transformed into a solid gold bar.

One of Western Australia's leading tourist attractions, the multi award-winning Perth Mint offers an unrivalled combination of awesome activities, interesting exhibitions and demonstrations, enabling visitors to experience the astonishing allure of gold and the past that comes with it.

The Perth Mint's popularity is not surprising when you consider its impressive list of facts and achievements. It is home to the world's largest gold bar collection, including many unique examples from every continent in an eclectic mix of shapes and designs; the largest and most valuable coin in the world also resides here, a one-tonne goliath that is 99.99% pure gold and a Guinness World Record holder; and Australia's largest natural nugget collection is another amazing marvel to be found at Perth Mint, with the world's second largest nugget (820 ounces) proving to be an eye-catching spectacle.

Of course, it is not all about simply observing these fantastic attractions. There are also opportunities to get involved in some activities, including engraving your own medallion, finding out your weight in gold and having the chance to sell some of your unwanted gold too!

Opening times:

Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.

Sat,urday and Sunday, 9am - 1pm.
