Is Silver on Your Menu?

Are you having any difficulty buying silver bullion or coin products?

I was browsing HotCopper today and noted one of the posters had received an email from The Perth Mint. Here's an excerpt,

"Demand for our coins is currently running at unprecedented levels and we have been inundated by high levels of web and telephone traffic from clients all around the world. This has put tremendous pressure on our business systems and Customer Service department which have struggled to cope with the number of enquiries and orders."

In addition, an article in Arabian Money commenting on silver shortage due to high investment demand.

Where else in the world is silver becoming difficult to buy, due to supply shortage? I'd be interested to get your comments on this ... what do you know?
