<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2277492, member: 19463&quot;]I am less worried about lead in coins than that in drinking water (lead pipes were outlawed in the 80&#039;s), lead paint (chips eaten by children in old buildings), and, the best of all, leaded gasoline.&nbsp; It is no wonder I am what I am.&nbsp; When I was little, my father took me out to watch the low flying airplanes spraying crops with DDT.&nbsp; I loved airplanes when I was ten or so and where else could you see one flying so low it seemed you could almost touch it.&nbsp; When I was in 7th grade public school shop class we cast lead bookends.&nbsp; I loved that, too.&nbsp; My mother was a nurse and would bring home broken thermometers so I could play with the mercury.&nbsp; Mercury is fun and you could rub it on pennies to make them look silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can only assume that the tiles on the kitchen floor were asbestos.&nbsp; Those are my excuses for any way you find me deficient.&nbsp;&nbsp; Wash your hands anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
