Perth Mint Gold Sales

The Perth Mint sold 58,811 ounces of gold in September 2016. This was up 300% from the Perth Mint’s August 2015 gold sales of 14,684 ounces. September Perth Mint gold sales were the highest monthly total in 2016. The dramatic increase in sales was due in part to the release of another Perth Mint popular coin the, the Gold Australian Rooster.

The early release of the 2017 Gold Australian Kangaroo is almost certain to drive gold sales even higher.
