<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael W. Bradley, post: 8299729, member: 114144&quot;]Was thinking about this the other day: in an old kids magic book it has a trick on how to turn pennies &quot;silver&quot; by coating them with &quot;mercury&quot;! While that was way back when, when mercury was available in any broken thermometer. Today the &#039;hazmat&#039; team comes to decontaminate your house! It&#039;s not so much that the metal itself is hazardous but when spilled on the ground, the metal combines with salts to create severe environmental damage. Interestingly, mercury was used anciently as an amalgam (like your dental filing) to find gold and silver. (Sometimes today industrially).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
