In the 18th century, which metal was often thrown into the sea to avoid counterfeiting?

"It... commonly contains... platinum..."???

Ali *Regulus* Mirza, They are referring to the ore in which it is naturally found. It could be stated better.

LillySparrow, All that glitters...

Is that the metal in catalytic converters?

Robofan301, yeah they don’t really “word or state” things/facts very well

Ali. Please complete your question. Most people can see it is just a statement at the moment. You have clearly by mistake missed a few words that would change it into a question. Then the " question mark" at the end would be correct.
