Silver coins

I'm going to Australia, I want to buy silver coins. They are minted with a face valve of 1 dollar, made of 1 oz of pure silver. Is this class as cash and therfore under the limit? Does this need to be declared?

Hi,
The guidance on types of cash you must declare states that you must declare:
• notes and coins
• bearer bonds
• travellers’ cheques
• cheques (including travellers’ cheques) that are signed but not made out to a person or organisation

If you are carrying cash in or out of Northern Ireland, you must also declare:
• money orders
• gold coins, bullion or nuggets
• prepaid cards
I would advise contacting the Customs and International trade helpline Imports and exports: general enquiries on 0300 322 9434 for more help.
Guidance is also available at Take cash in and out of the UK.
Thank you
