History of PlatinumHistorically, platinum has been the more expensive metal than gold. In fact, platinum is actually 30 times rarer than gold. Platinum is so rare that it is mined in a few deposits around the world, with South Africa making up 80% of the total reserve. Platinum is often referred to as the rich man’s gold due to its prestigious uses in jewelry. Platinum is more frequently used for industrial purposes such as catalytic converters. Today, platinum trades lower than gold, even though it is much rarer than its counterpart, which is why many investors have turned to platinum for their investment needs.
