Perth Mint, Golden State Mint and the largest Mint in the UK have now all suspended silver sales.
And it isn’t because of a lack of demand.

There is no evidence that the Perth Mint has suspended silver coin or bullion sales, and no evidence of any closure or theft. Verified reports confirm the Mint continues normal operations and is actively selling gold and silver products. What people are ignoring is how quickly unverified claims spread in the precious metals space, creating panic and price swings that are entirely artificial. Investors should focus on confirmed updates instead of repeating rumors from social media.
There is no official notice from the Perth Mint, the Western Australian government, or any regulator indicating:
- suspension of all silver sales
- refinery shutdown
- theft
- operational collapse
The Mint continues to list silver bullion products as available.
The Perth Mint has been involved in financial reporting issues in past years, including concerns about leased or rehypothecated metals. These were accounting controversies — not theft, shutdowns, or product suspensions.

– Golden State Mint: Paused most precious metal sales, including silver, citing volatility and high demand.
