The Perth Mint is the world's oldest operating mint, established in 1899 as a branch of the Royal Mint London. Located in an elegant Victorian-era building on Hay Street, it produces Australia's gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins and offers a popular heritage exhibition.
The Mint was established during the WA gold rush to refine gold from the Goldfields–Esperance region. It became independent from the Royal Mint in 1970 and is now owned by the Government of Western Australia.
