<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2765648, member: 74265&quot;]Jim, catalytic converters are probably where most of the platinum or palladium is used in industry.&nbsp; The chemical industry uses its fair share of these metals, but, for many reactions, platinum and palladium are easily recovered (recycled).&nbsp; Rare metals have always played a serious role in chemistry.&nbsp; I was just ranting about my days as a lab rat.&nbsp; But I still find it hard to believe how the price of rhodium plummeted.&nbsp; In any case, I know almost nothing about the economics of precious metals (or economics in general).&nbsp; I wish I were more knowledgeable and I appreciate your reply.&nbsp; I have learned a lot by reading forum threads here.&nbsp; I have collected coins my entire life, but now I am just becoming seriously interested in buying bullion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
