<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Droidicus, post: 427833, member: 15422&quot;]I came across this today and found it interesting:</p><p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Silver_-_world_production_trend.svg/676px-Silver_-_world_production_trend.svg.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a graph of worldwide silver production by date, here is some firmer data about US and worldwide production and utilization: <a href="http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/silver/mcs-2008-silve.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/silver/mcs-2008-silve.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/silver/mcs-2008-silve.pdf</a> According to these sources we are currently (as of 2007) producing approximately 660 MILLION Troy ounces of silver per year. This is a massive amount, I am not sure if everyone is aware of just how much of the stuff we actually wrest from the earth each year.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Droid[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
