10 oz. Australian Gold Nugget (Kangaroo) Bullion Coin

Following the successful release of the 1oz. and the fractional sized Australian Gold Nugget bullion coins, in 1987; The Perth Mint, in 1991, added three more gold coins to the series, the 2oz., 10oz., and the 1 Kilogram gold coins were added to the Gold Nugget series of coins.

The 2oz. and 10oz. gold kangaroo has not been minted, since 2009.

However, the 1-kilo gold bullion coin is still minted by the Perth Mint, to this day.

Free Bullion Investment Guide
Thanks You for Visiting!

My name is Steven Warrenfeltz, and I created the this guide for those who are looking for honest information about investing in precious metals bullion.

The other side of this guide is my way of fulfilling a promise to a childhood friend who died of cancer.

That promise was to do whatever I could to support those who are Battling Cancer (researchers/patients), and in doing so, try to help rid the world of this horrible disease.

The guide is my effort to make a bigger impact against the disease by combining what I love, 'investing,' while fulfilling a promise.

The Free Bullion Investment Guide has three missions:

The 1st mission is to be an Honest place on the web that provides you with the Best Bullion Market Reference Material.

The 2nd mission is to be an Advocate for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research.

The 3rd mission is to Support those who are Battling Cancer through The Angel of Healing Cancer Fund.
