Advantages of the Australian Platinum Kangaroo 1 oz are many: (1) Because the coin is minted and guaranteed as to weight and purity by the Perth Mint it is recognized as a world standard. This allows dealers to post daily buy and sell prices on the beautiful 1 oz coins which follow the world price of platinum. (2) It trades for a small premium and its legal tender status is a plus because it is guaranteed by a sovereign country. (3) Because the Perth Mint produced a significant number of these bullion coins the premium over spot remains low and attractive to those who only want a bullion investment. (4) The 1 oz coin is a pure platinum coin which allows investors to diversify their precious metals holdings and figure value easily. (5) The Australian Platinum Kangaroo 1 oz comes from the Perth Mint housed in a hard plastic holder which protects the coin’s surfaces from scratching and makes storage easy. (6) Platinum bullion investment today is growing because there are no Central Bank Reserves and it has many industrial uses. Major mine production of platinum comes from South Africa and Russia which are subject to political unrest. (7) The price of platinum today is historically very low, providing great value.
