<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 463853, member: 16060&quot;]Silver disrupts the membrane of certain bacteria causing it to erupt and the bacteria die.&nbsp; Our new urinary catheters contain a small amount of silver to help prevent urinary tract infections. I&#039;m not sure how effective they are because I haven&#039;t seen a patient have a urinary infection secondary to a catheter in years. I never actually looked, but there is a skin repair cream with a brand name of &quot;Silvadene&quot;, and it is best I&#039;ve seen. I&#039;ve read silver is being looked at very closely with many thinking silver has a big future in the medical area.&nbsp; I also read once there was a period in the first part of the 20th century where new coins were very popular as gifts and were referred to as &quot;shiny coins&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think this gentleman is an ancestor of a &quot;shiny coin&quot; lover.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
