<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1434377, member: 26302&quot;]I like lead and do think its a neglected metal. At least by the time of the Romans, though, they knew it could cause health concerns. The whole story that the Romans had lead poisoning because the aquaducts had large amounts in them was a fable. There was a little used in joints, but not enough to cause human harm due to the massive quantities of water that flowed through them. I believe a Roman architect wrote on the subject, and was arguing how this small amount of lead would lead to no harm, presupposing the fact they knew lead could harm humans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this had something to due with it not being used in most official coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
