Enter the Perth Mint Silver Kangaroo.
The Perth Mint reacted to the silver shortages at the U.S. and Canadian Mints by introducing a new silver bullion coin that would be not be of limited mintage, but rather would be minted in such quantities to meet demand – the Silver Australian Kangaroo one ounce coin.
The new coin was an immediate hit. By the end of September, Reuters reported that the Perth Mint had sold more than 2.5 million ounces of silver and had begun rationing silver kangaroo coins.
Today, Reuters Singapore noted that the Perth Mint had emailed a statement that it had sold a record 3.53 million ounces of silver coins in September.
