<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SDPlayer, post: 317615, member: 11416&quot;]The old timer told you right, but you don&#039;t really have to rub it in. On a silver coin, the mercury will just spread itself, it won&#039;t bead up like water, etc. It turns the coin very shiny and very slippery. I used to collect mecury when I was growing up and still have a glass airline bottle full sitting on my bookshelf. As I recall, I got most of mine from old-style thermostats that I would crack open. Another place was chemistry class in high school. The teacher would pass out this red-ish, rusty looking powder. We would place it into a test tube placed over a bunson burner. When the powder heated up, mecury fumes would be created but could not escape because of cotton wadding in the end of the tube. The fumes would cool and condense on the inside of the tube and then we could collect it. I remember getting all of the other kids to give me theirs. Man, it&#039;s hard to believe that I still remember all of this after almost 40 years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
