File talk:One litre of Platinum.jpg

wow... this right here must be worth millions of dollars.

My math came up to $1,536,692 at the current market value of $2031 per ounce.96.2.35.34 (talk) 14:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Quick lookup gives 1 l platinum = 21.46 kg.
21.46 kg * 2031 USD/ounce = 1,537,424.80 USD. Yeah. If this really is Stephen B Streater's own work, then he is, by definition, a millionaire. MathiasRav (talk) 23:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, the picture is his own work, but that doesn't mean it's his platinum. It probably belongs to a company he works for, though what exactly that company does, I can only guess. Smelting? Precious metals investing? Electronics manufacturing? (Bank robber?) It could be anything... --68.150.202.201 (talk) 23:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Why are some of the blocks duller than the others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.211.98.154 (talk) 11:50, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

It was my own platinum. It was a lot cheaper when I bought it too! I sold 488 cubes at $2200/oz last year, so only have 512 left. The reason some look different is the finish - each cube has some smooth faces and some matt faces. It was machined by Baird and Co in London to 5 micron accuracy - you can weigh and measure each cube to prove content without having to rely on a hallmark. Baird has a variety of other executive toys too: http://www.goldline.co.uk/executiveProductsPage.page - I encouraged him to design and make the dice, which roll beautifully.
