Statement On Mintages Of Perth Mint Bullion Coins
October 22 2010

WORLD OF GOLD
For all those who have been asking about mintage figures for Perth Mint gold and silver bullion coins, accurate and up-to-date information can be downloaded here.
With the posting of these figures, I’d like to take the opportunity to remind you of our bullion strategy and clear up one or two
misunderstandings that have arisen recently.
As you know, our bullion coins have a reputation for being the highest quality in the world. We differentiate them from other mint’s products
by changing the designs annually and in many cases limiting their availability by mintage. These are numismatic qualities which we’ve found have given them appeal among some collectors.
Primarily, however, we regard them as bullion coins and market them as such. Issued as Australian legal tender and backed by a Western
Australian Government guarantee, we try and leave no stone unturned to provide investors with complete reassurance.
This also means that we aim to be scrupulously open and honest about how many we make. Despite what I’ve seen written on the web, let me make it clear that the Australian Lunar Series I is closed off - we have not made these coins since the launch of Series II in 2008.
I’d also like to point out that we reserve the right to sell older 1oz and 1 kilo silver Lunar Series II coins. This is stated clearly in our Silver Bullion Coin brochure*:
No mintage limit applies to 1 kilo (coins)… Production of 1 kilo coins will cease at the end of the series.
The Perth Mint will produce up to 300,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series,
whichever comes first.
If you have any questions based upon the official sales and mintage figures, I’d be happy to answer them in this forum.
(*2010 version. 2011 version will be posted in the next few weeks.)
Es ist mir doch Jacke wie Hose, ob die PM Lunar als bullion Münzen betrachtet oder nicht. Es geht darum, dass sie mit großem Brimborium nach Beendigung der 1. Serie "final mintages " veröffentlich haben, die jetzt anders aussehen. Dazu steht in dem Geblubber kein einziges Wort. Wenn das stimmt, was da steht:
"let me make it clear that the Australian Lunar Series I is closed off -
we have not made these coins since the launch of Series II in 2008"
dann haben sie die Dinger eben vor 2008 produziert und damit nachweislich und vorsätzlich Ende März 2008 falsche Zahlen veröffentlicht.
Langsam fang auch ich an sauer zu werden, bei der Volksverdummung, die hier stattfindet ![]()
