Behind the Scenes at The Perth Mint: A Decade-Long Partnership
MyGold recently had the privilege of visiting The Perth Mint for the first time after nearly 12 years of working together. While we’ve always appreciated the exceptional quality and craftsmanship behind the products we source, this visit gave us a whole new level of understanding and appreciation for what goes on behind the scenes.
The Perth Mint: A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Founded in 1899, The Perth Mint is one of the oldest mints still operating today. Established as a branch of the British Royal Mint, it was originally tasked with refining gold from Western Australia’s booming goldfields and minting sovereign coins. Over a century later, it has grown into one of the world’s most respected and trusted precious metals refineries.
The Perth Mint processes approximately 300 tonnes of gold annually, supplying global markets with premium gold and silver products. The high standards and attention to detail have made their coins and bars sought after by investors, collectors, and governments alike. Each coin, bar, and bullion piece is a testament to the skill, artistry, and craftsmanship that the Mint has maintained since its inception.
Our Behind-the-Scenes Tour
During our visit, we had the opportunity to go behind the scenes and meet with all the departments responsible for minting world-class coins and bars. It was an eye-opening experience to witness the amount of skill and effort that goes into each step of the process, from refining raw gold to creating the stunning, high-quality products that grace the global precious metals market.
We were highly impressed by the quality standards and attention to detail that The Perth Mint adheres to, as well as their ongoing investment in upgrading facilities and minting technologies. This continuous drive for improvement and excellence is what sets The Perth Mint apart as a global leader in the precious metals industry.
A Strong Partnership Built Over Time
For MyGold, our relationship with The Perth Mint is more than just business—it feels like family. It was a pleasure to meet so many members of the team who are as passionate about their work as we are about ours. We also had the opportunity to sit down with the new CEO, gaining valuable insights into his vision for the Mint's future and the direction they are heading.
As our partnership continues to grow, we look forward to supporting The Perth Mint in bringing more customers to the beautiful world of precious metals.
