Silver Metal

Did you know that one of the most prescious metals today has more uses than just monetary. I was recently researching prescious metals and after searching through some internet sites I found some very interesting facts about silver. I discovered that silver is not only used for coins and jewellery but also for industrial use as well. It has been estimated that more than 95% of the mined silver has already been used in industrial construction because of it's unique properties including strength, malleability, ductibility and ability to endure extreame heat conditions. Interestingly enough Silver is also used for health care products as it possess uniques anti-bacterial properties. To care for burn victims, dressings recieve a layer of fabric containing silver which can prevent secondary infections to the wounded area. It certainly was very exciting discovering the history and uses of one of the worlds most valuable commodities.
