Do you have any thoughts on Gold Coins which are minted by the Perth Mint and LEGAL TENDER by the Aus Government? Are these items classed as "currency" and NOT subject to CGT? I believe there are laws similar to this in the UK. If this is so, it would make Gold Coins a very attractive investment. Hi thank you for wisdom on Gold Bullion and CGT.
