MF, Gold buying at the Perth Mint is easy, however they charge a $ for the privilege. If you live in Perth, I don't, there's a place in Great Eastern Hway Redcliffe that sells it cheaper. It's on the left hand side going out, near Brearley Ave. It's worth looking for if you buy even relatively small quantities. They don't hold on site and need a couple of days notice.
To the other Smart Alec with his silly remark, last week, some eftpos and ATMs including NAB were out here in Qld, people with cash in their accounts had lots of trouble getting home and paying for their meals etc. Nobody ever suggested buying gold for trading purposes, instead putting some of your everdecreasing saved $ into gold to hold value.
