Für alle, die des Englischen mächtig sind. Hier ist die offizielle Erklärung der Perth Mint zu ihrer Entscheidung:
Important Notice
17 October 2008
Dear Perth Mint Dealer
In order to clarify questions arising from our announcement earlier today, The Perth
Mint will not be taking any new orders for silver or gold bullion coins (excluding the
1oz Gold Kangaroo) while we clear existing orders on the books.
To reiterate the reason, we have recently received a huge number of orders as a
result of global financial instability and are working at capacity to meet this
unprecedented demand.
I would like to emphasise that we can fulfil all new orders for 1oz Gold Kangaroos
throughout this period. Some bullion coin, which we hold in stock, is also at your
disposal – please call your Customer Service Officer for more details.
I hope that this clarification answers any questions that you may have and that we
look forward to continuing to work with you closely.
Yours faithfully,
RON CURRIE

Important Notice
17 October 2008
Dear Customer
The Perth Mint has been forced to take the unprecedented step of temporarily
suspending production of some gold and silver bullion coins, commencing at the
close of business in Perth tonight, 17 October 2008. Orders already on our books,
however, are unaffected by this decision, as are numismatic products.
We are suspending production in response to a huge increase in demand for our
bullion products during the current financial instability. Despite working three
production shifts, seven days a week, we require a short breathing space in which to
fulfil current orders.
For the foreseeable future, we will focus production exclusively on 1oz Kangaroo
gold bullion coins. We are happy to accept all orders for this denomination for
dispatch from Perth in late October, early November.
In order to minimise the disruption of supplies as much as possible, we have built a
stock of unallocated gold and silver bullion coins. For full details of the availability of
other Kangaroos, as well as Kookaburra, Koala and Lunar bullion coins, please call
your Perth Mint Customer Service Officer.
With the economic situation changing rapidly, the Mint is reviewing events daily and I
hope to be able to write to you shortly with a firm date for the resumption of normal
business.
Thank you for your cooperation and ongoing support of The Perth Mint.
Kindest regards,
RON CURRIE

Ob sich das jetzt vielleicht sogar auf die derzeitigen Preise für australische Bullions mit Jahreszahl 2009 auswirken kann, bleibt abzuwarten, jedenfalls ist es eine Situation, die es tatsächlich niemals zuvor gab!! Die limitierten Sammlermünzen werden aber in vollem Umfang weiterproduziert, nehme an, dass die Perth damit ziemlich gut verdient
) und die Anworten gehen dann öfter an den fragen vorbei - wobei hier egal ist ob ich in englisch oder auf deutsch schreibe ...
