[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2061096, member: 4373"]There are supposedly stories of Swiss bank procuring Nazi gold during WWII. Whether they weer sourced from dental fillings or not and struck coins with such - I don't know. With regards to dental fillings - I do not believe that they contain 100% mercury. They should be alloys of gold, palladium, silver etc. Whether the study continues to investigate traces of other elements which resemble dental fillings - this maybe another way to look at it. My question to you is, would it change the way of collecting coins if you believe certain coins were struck with "tainted metal"? I do not know of any mineral that is not tainted with blood.[/QUOTE]
