Australian investors are now able to purchase gold and silver bullion coins at live prices.
In a world first, the Perth Mint has set up a website where customers can monitor the constant fluctuation in prices and purchase when they want throughout the day.
Since the global financial crisis, the demand for physical gold has skyrocketed and investors have purchased that gold at a daily fixed price.
The Mint's Ron Currie says he's expecting demand for the precious metals to increase.
"I'm sure it will. We've had it online for a month, but in a testing mode, and we've had a lot of people sign on and sign up for information and its been very popular."
The website will be opened to international investors next year.
