Microsoft Platinum's Young's modulus is not published as yet. I'd suggest you cut a 1mm slice through the promotional CD, just skimming the center hole so you can get a sample of maximum length, and do your measurements on that. Be sure to publish your results so you get credit for being the first to make this important research breakthrough! For comparison you might also want to print the Young's modulus of platinum metal, which is 168 GPa at 20C.
EDIT: Sorry, my ignorance is showing. I found numerous references to platinum coins with an MS-70 (or similar) rating. I couldn't find out what that means but it may be more about coin condition than describing an alloy, and they don't generally alloy platinum anyway. At least the data I gave is serious.
