Perth Mint called me completely out of the blue yesterday.I have not even gone in there or bought anything for over two years since they banned cash purchases.
They wanted me to go in there with ID, and give them a load more personal information.All part of some money laundering crackdown.Since...
I stopped using the Perth mint when they stopped accepting cash (maybe 2 years ago?), but to ask this much information for someone who only wants to buy just a one Oz silver kookaburra is embarrassing to be honest.Maybe they don't want the small time civilian buyers anymore.
Maybe they want customers shopping at ABC and elsewhere to take the heat off them? Maybe they really are short on PMs, who knows.
Is it worthwhile phoning up and complaining? Maybe i will just to see what they say.
Paywave is only up to $200, anything more than that you have to press your bank...
First I have heard of this and must be a brand new policy.Seems they no longer accept cash at the Perth Mint.COVID-19 seems a weak excuse considering it's been ongoing for 2 years.Personally I had always made my purchases with cash there but will probably just go to ABC in future.
Polls have been favouring "No" (The anti-establishment choice) for months now, No is currently up by around 8-10%.
Similar to Brexit news orgs are saying this could spark a crisis in the Eurozone yet gold price has been to the downside since the day after Trump won.
Are the manipulators pushing...
Yeah well, with Turnbulls huge property portfolio he would never touch negative gearing.
Wind back negative gearing and you wouldn't need any tax rises, plus that would balance the budget on current figures.
Picked some up maybe 3 weeks back and have been happy with the performance so far, especially with golds current weakness the past week or so.Was even up 4c when the market slumped 4% the other day.
