Why is The Perth Mint special?

The Perth Mint is special because it is the oldest operating mint in the world, with a history tracing back to the gold rush era of the 19th century. It is renowned for producing exquisite gold and silver commemorative coins and boasts a significant collection of gold bars and rare coins. Visitors can tour the mint, witness gold pouring demonstrations, and even touch a gold bar worth 200,000 Australian dollars.
