The success story continued with minting decimal coins until 1984. In 1987 the Perth Mint was culminated into Gold Corporation and then expanded its range of precious metal products. In addition to gold bullion coins the Perth Mint also mints gold and platinum bullion coins (1988) adding palladium in 1995.
