<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 126441, member: 4552"]1. Not to long ago in this very country watches had Radium treated hands and dialed numbers to make them glow.

Just raw steel rebar of a low grade steel is fairly cheap. Since there are numerous grades of stainless steels, any Rebar with a grade of 440 would probably cost more than the Radium treated coins I was proposing. </p><p>5.
