I knew Platinum was rare...but didn't realize that a Trillion $$$ hasn't even been mined/found yet.

It says that all the Platinum mined is about 18,000 tons. With Platinum roughly 2 times as heavy as Gold, wouldn't that technically mean a 1ozt of Gold would have more material than 1ozt of Platinum? Would it be the size of a half ounce AU? I personally have never held 1oz platinum round/bar so I can't say. Perhaps someone here has a 1oz Gold AND Platinum bar they could take a pic of side by side. I would be interested to know.

They should mint it out of feces. It would make a lot more sense.

Wow. I knew platinum was heavier than gold, but I thought it was pretty close. Twice as heavy? I need to get some of that...
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.
