I'm currently collecting all my bits of platinum wire.

Platinum's a pain though. JM are unpleasant to deal with unless you're
trade, jewellers are generally thieving short-changers when it comes
to dealing bullion and even a crucible to turn your dust & wire into a
reasonable ingot is likely to cost a fair price in its own right.

I just love recycling silver (it's so easy!), and cuppelating mucky
gold is an excuse to make shakudo. Platinum though is a white-metal
elephant. It's too expensive to throw away, too awkward to actually
get on and do it.
