<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2804970, member: 88212"]Before 1900 aluminum was scarcely known and very hard to produce before the Bessemer Process kicked in. Aluminum was so valuable that Czarist Russia recalled all of their platinum coins and replaced them with aluminum. No one complained about making money on the deal until a few years later when aluminum became plentiful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
