What is a Grain? Palladium weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The grain (0.0648 g) is the smallest troy unit, one 480th of a troy ounce. One grain equals 0.0648 grams, or 0.00208 troy ounces, which at today's palladium spot price works out to — AUD.
Where it is used. Historical coin weights, gold leaf and very small assay samples are still specified in grains. The unit is the trading standard in coin collecting and assaying.
Pricing conventions. No modern bullion product is sold by the grain, but numismatic catalogues use it, so collectors convert grain weights when valuing old coinage. Palladium is almost entirely an industrial metal, so a retail quote in this unit is a conversion from the ounce price rather than a rate you will see posted in a shop.
Good to know. The grain was originally the weight of a single barley seed, making it one of the oldest surviving mass units in use.

Buying Palladium in Australia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per grain, the price you see here is the international XPD spot price converted into Australian Dollar. Physical buyers in Australia pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Perth, home of the government-guaranteed Perth Mint. Buyers there generally watch the Perth Mint spot feed in AUD per ounce as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver must be 99.9% and platinum 99% to be GST-free; anything below those thresholds, including jewellery, attracts 10% GST. Palladium is dominated by industrial buyers, so retail coins and bars are scarce and premiums move sharply with supply news. That is why the shop price of palladium in AUD can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same grain of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Australia are Perth Mint depository, ABC Bullion and other national dealers, online dealers and ASX-listed metal ETFs. The products most often quoted locally include Perth Mint Kangaroo, Lunar series coins, 1 kg silver bars, unallocated depository accounts.
Local conventions. The Perth Mint's depository programme lets buyers hold allocated or unallocated metal without taking delivery. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per grain with the live palladium price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline AUD quote.
