About the Perth Mint The Perth Mint, wholly-owned by the State Government of Western Australia, is the official issuer of the Australian Federal Governments Gold and Silver Bullion Coin Program. The Mint opened in 1899 in response to the discovery of rich gold deposits in Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. It was Australias third branch of Britains Royal Mint - the others being the Sydney Mint and the Melbourne Mint (both closed). The Perth Mint remained under Britains jurisdiction until 1 July 1970, when ownership transferred to the State Government of Western Australia. In 2003, The Perth Mint officially opened an 8,400 square metre state-of-the-art manufacturing facility next door to its original limestone building. Dominating the Mints heritage precinct, these two important buildings are powerful symbols of more than 100 years of minting excellence in Western Australia.
