The “free” part of this attraction is really just jewellery shops, the guided tour is the only way to see so much more. We saw the world’s largest solid gold coin, and some very large gold nuggets. Y…Full review by Anne S

It was quite underwhelming, I didn't go on any tours , maybe that would have made a difference, it's rooms with coins and diamonds.Full review by FordRanger2018

A:
Established as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint in 1899, The Perth Mint is the oldest operating Mint in Australia. Wholly-owned by the State Government of Western Australia since 1970, The Perth Mint is empowered to issue the Australian Precious Metals Coin Program as legal tender and also strikes many of Australia’s limited edition collector coins, highly sought-after throughout the world for their superb proof quality and exquisite numismatic treatments. As one of Western Australia’s leading tourist attractions, The Perth Mint also offers a unique combination of activities, exhibitions and demonstrations as part of its admission-based guided tour, enabling visitors to experience the astonishing allure of gold. The Royal Mint in Canberra is the sole supplier of Australia’s circulating coinage. More detailed information can be found at the respective websites for both Mints.
