Great facts! i didnt know any of that, i know they impregnate hospital gowns with silver because its antibiotic, so is the moon made of silver? im gona look that one up now :)
Hahaha.. I think he means silver is the metal of the moon as in it represents the moon. Just like garnet is the gem stone of January. Well I hope that's what he means or if the moon is made of silver, it could really bring down the price!!
Nice life
There are tens of thousands of uses for silver, which is why it should be worth far more than it is! One day the manipulated price won't be able to sustain itself and we'll see it's true value realised
Cool silver facts. Esp interesting that it’s being put in paper in the medical field. You know that silver is never going to be recovered.
Silver has its own country. The Latin name of the metal is argentum. Argentina is translated as "the land of silver". But despite such a poetic name, there is practically no precious metal in the country. Unlike neighboring Peru, where more than a thousand metric tons of silver are mined annually.
