How many of these Perth Mint coin issues are produced for sole distributors located over seas and not available for sale in Australia through the Perth Mint . It appears of late that the Perth Mint and now the RAM are excepting contracts from off shore dealers to produce Australian currency for their sole distribution . The Australian collector is faced with paying a premium price and the extremely expensive shipping/postage costs when trying to source the issues overseas . PM and RAM should be morally ashamed especially when they sell off , in some cases , our Nations icons , State emblems etc. It can easily be resolved for the Australian collector by PM and RAM reviewing the contact terms and arrangements to hold back a certain percentage of the production . I am very disappointed and frustrated by the Mints attitude and lack of consideration for us in Australia .

There is a legal requirement for a certain % to be sold in Australia (can't remember if it's 5% or 10%). So you will find that all coins produced by the Perth mint that is Australian legal tender can be purchased in Australia. They got caught out a few years back. https://www.silverstackers.com/foru...ustralian-kangaroo-silver-bullion-coin.74766/
