    Just a quick question, when Perth Mint release new coins (like the Gods of Olympus coins etc) is it possible on release day to physically visit the Perth Mint and buy the coin instead of buying online?

    I know they have a physical shop but the question is will these coins be available on the same day that they released online?

    I will be moving to Perth from South Africa later this year, so I look forward to being able to visit the Mint regularly :)

    Yes, the coins are available on the Perth Mint shop on the release day when they open at 9am

    Thanks Kam, so if its a popular release, like God of Olympus was, does the physical shop have its own stock - or is it a case that if it gets sold out online before the shop opens then you won't be able to purchase?

    The retail shop gets an allocation but they usually sell out pretty quickly for the very popular releases. Have to get there early and line up.

    The retail shop is a different department from the online store within Perth Mint, If I'm not mistaken during the gods of olympus releases they used to get around 20 coins in the shop.
