<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 3631284, member: 10012&quot;]Just to add a couple of interesting tidbits: During WW2, in Italy, a U.S Army priest let it be known that he was interested in old coins. Occasionally a GI would bring him a coin that he had found in a shell hole or where ever. One coin was Roman and was chipped, exposing a center which was of a different metal. After the war the coin was found to have a center of Platinum with an exterior of silver....a counterfeit coin with a worthless center. Another item of interest is that in Ore., U.S. after the 1849 gold rush, placer miners discarded a white metal from their collection weirs because it was worthless. It is now thought that that white metal was platinum[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
