Silver bullion sales reached their highest level since January. The jump in sales may have been attributed to last minute orders for the 2014 Australian Lunar Year of the Horse gold and silver bullion coins and 2014 Australian Kookaburra silver bullion coins. Sales for the products officially ended on August 29, 2014 in preparation for the launch of the 2015-dated releases on September 1, 2014. For August 2014, sales of silver as coins and minted bars reached 818,856 troy ounces. This was well above the prior month sales of 577,988 ounces and also exceeded sales from the year ago period of 691,259 ounces. The latest monthly total represented the second highest level of the year, only behind January when sales had reached 912,388 ounces. For the year to date, silver sales have reached 4,825,180 ounces. This amount slightly trails the sales from the comparable year ago period of 5,172,099 ounces.
