I had to research about platinum for my coursework and this is at best mediocre. </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance numismatics had a big play of the usage of platinum. In the early days when the Spanish found platinum, they exported a lot of them back. Some were made into jewellery but smarter crooks gold plated platinum coins and this became a problem as gold was more expensive than platinum. However gold platinum counterfeited coins are very collectable these days. Russian platinum coins don&#039;t take all the glory - it&#039;s true that it&#039;s the world&#039;s only circulated legal tender platinum coins but gold plated platinum coins did circulate as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another one of your point you mentioned is &quot;zimbabwication of South Africa&quot;. Did you not know that Zimbabwe has enough platinum to easily add 15% of the current world production if the crazy politics wasn&#039;t there? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s two links that I recommand you to read before writing any more: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.platinum.matthey.com/publications/a-history-of-platinum/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.platinum.matthey.com/publications/a-history-of-platinum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.platinum.matthey.com/publications/a-history-of-platinum/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.stillwaterpalladium.com/history.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stillwaterpalladium.com/history.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.stillwaterpalladium.com/history.html</a> &lt;- Highly recommanded[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
