Is Platinum better than gold?

1 Answer
Is Platinum better than gold?
While preferences differ, platinum is generally considered to be better than gold. Platinum is a naturally occurring white metal that is rarer, heavier, and harder than gold. Due to its hardness, platinum is able to be used in a much purer form than gold, which makes the metal more expensive.
