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.

Is that the metal in catalytic converters?

LillySparrow, All that glitters...

Be wise, IIRC, catalytic converters are the largest use of platinum today. I saw that in another quiz game. 😀

Wow, wow, wow...it's the second time I've received this question...something I used to think wasn't just highly unlikely but outright impossible in this game! Would be interesting to know if anyone else remembers having a similar experience.

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.
