Gold coins are back in favor.

Australia’s Perth Mint reported a jump in sales of coins and minted bars to 62,552 ounces in September, the highest since January 2017. Sales of similar silver products more than doubled from a month earlier to 1.3 million ounces, the highest in two-and-a-half years, according to the company’s blog.
