    Either day is about as busy as the other, but there will be more "suits" on the Friday as it is still a business day and a lot of industry activity is taking place. Saturdays will have more general public visitors instead of business visitors. Sunday is much quieter, and a lot of dealers pack up early on the Sunday well before the official closing time.

    If you sort out before where to go one day is sufficient. If you want to see everything detailed, calculate two days.
    Here you can check in advance who is where: https://www.worldmoneyfair.de/wmf/en/fair-info/

    Yep.. If I was going for one day, I would do the Saturday.

    I have been every year I think for the last five years, with Mr. Pelican for the last four.

    The highlight is usually the Perth Mint launch function on the Friday night, but that's strictly invitation only.

    This year I am going representing my new employer, will be interesting being on the other side of the fence.

    If anyone is there and wants to meet up for a beer, let me know.

    The Perth Mint do can be a good laugh. The Star Trek launch in particular was great.

    Oh Wow ... Yeah. Didn't know you were there.

    It was a hoot. All the wait staff had the colored uniforms on. The ones wearing red were a bit sad, because they knew they were going to get fired at the end of the night.

    If your going this year let me know.
