Platinum was not discovered In Russia until about a hundred years ago. From 1828 to IS 15, Russia Issued platinum coins. Couu-- . terfelters at first platinum coins and passed them as gold coins. The coinage ceased because the value of the platinum came to exceed the face value of the coins and many were exported.

Platinum leaf and plating are among the most recent developments of the industry. Platinum Is one of the aristocrats of metals," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. A pound of platinum is worth more than two pounds of gold, but a little platinum goes a long way. Normally, about six tons Is required annually to world. The supply a metal-hungrmetal can be rolled and beaten into of leaf one an inch thick.

The modern Jewelers show cases display platinum rings and rings of other metals with platinum settings for precious stones, watch platinum and platinum-platecases enclosing works with platinum pivots, rouge and powder boxes, pins, vases, flower and fruit bowls, various ornaments, and tableware.

It helps produce the farmers fertilizer; it also Is a valuable tool of the rayon manufacturer. Because platinum has a high melting point and Is not affected by contact with most acids, It Is one of the mainstays of the chemical laboratory where plntlnum crucibles, pans, strainers and furnace parts are extensive) used. One of its chief laboratory uses, however. Is as a sort of middle nmn, or catalyzer. When placed In certain solutions, platinum makes the solutions change their natures, yet the metal Itself Is not affected. Manufacturers of ammonia and sulphuric and acetic acids use platinum In this way in their processes. For the first time, the United States government recently struck off two platinum medals at the Philadelphia mint. They are master copies of the medal designed for the United States George Washington bicentennial commission.
