I visited the gift shop and was directed to the team who make the commemorative medallions . While telling them the story of my Grandpa , they made up a beautiful medallion with his name and birthday on it , listening patiently to me and thanking me for telling them the story .
When he opened the gift on his birthday he was absolutely thrilled . He kept the medallion beside a photo of my grandmother until he passed away in 2020 .
Whenever I see The Perth Mint now , I think of my grandfather and how you helped me honour one of the greatest men I have ever known ."

" I couldn ’ t believe my luck ! I was in Perth when the Australian Kangaroo King Charles III Obverse First Issue 2024 1oz Silver Proof Coin was being released . I dragged my good friend to queue up in the heat to be one of the lucky ones to buy the coin . I scored # 153 , I was so happy ! Channel 9 News saw my excitement and … I was on the news . I walked out with two other coins as well , as I can never leave without buying more . It ’ s a very exciting place to visit and shop !"

" When I moved to Perth from Bundaberg in Queensland one of the first things I did was visit The Perth Mint . I was in disbelief when I saw the largest coin in the world . Every time I have a family member visit , we go here and I take them on a tour ! I have been five times now . I enjoy the gold pour the most ! I was so inspired I even purchased my own piece of gold . Thanks to your team and tour guides for being explosively engaging ! I love this place and its heritage building !"

" My favourite memory is actually the first time I visited the Mint . We had family friends visiting from the US so we went on a tour . It was amazing to watch the process and learn the history . It also really sticks out to me as this was when my siblings were going through a ' gangster clothes ' phase and it still makes me laugh at the photos of them as well as the embarrassment they now feel at wearing them !"

" I had been shopping at the Mint in person and online for years without ever doing a tour of the place . For my 27th birthday my girlfriend surprised me with a tour as part of the day . It was a cool experience seeing the One Tonne gold coin and stamping a coin for our visit . It ’ s a golden memory for us as a couple ."
