    Actually, there will be trace amounts of Ag-108m, which has a half-life of 400+ years. No worries though, the bananas you eat probably have more radioactive K-40 than the dime.:eek:

    Absolutely! Great find if you could break a thermometer and get the mercury out. Setting fire to my Dinky toys with airplane glue... And wow, if we'd had a Buster Browne x-ray machine like that, it would be good for hours of entertainment. No cat in the neighborhood would be safe...

    My information on the Ag-108 is different.
