FIGURE 52-1. This low-dose estrogen transdermal patch, available as the trade name Estraderm (Estradiol Transdermal System), is transparent and about the size of a silver dollar. It releases small amounts of estrogen directly into the bloodstream at a constant and controlled rate to a female requiring estrogen replacement therapy for postmenopausal symptoms. 

The Problem Ebenezer announced to his employees that he would be doing some profit-sharing with them. The nine employees would each get one-ninth of the 75 profit each month — and be paid in silver dollars. So the employees each got 8 per month, for a total of 96 for the year. How could Ebenezer have been just a bit more fair to his employees ... 

First, dividing 75 by 9, you get 8 with a remainder of 3. In decimals, this is 8.3. (That line over the 3 indicates that the number repeats forever.) It looks like Ebenezer just lopped off the remainder and kept it himself — because he paid in silver dollars and no other coins, he couldn t give his employees the fraction of the total. But if Ebenezer really wanted to be fair, he would multiply the 75 times the 12 months of the year to get 900. Dividing that by 9, each employee would get 100 dollars for the whole year instead of 96 dollars (8 x 12). He could give the extra as a holiday bonus. 

These metal leachate limitations are extremely difficult to meet with the Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) which is chemical stabilization technology proposed by the Federal EPA. The fact that no limit was proposed for cyanide adds uncertainty to chemical stabilization. TSD facilities do not want to put mixed wastes containing cyanides into their secure landfills which may have to be removed at a later date. Note that a 1972 U.S. silver dollar fails the TCLP test due to nickel. 

First Opium War begins between Britain and China. The conflict lasts until 1842. Imperial Chinese commissioner Lin Tse-Hsu seized or destroyed vast amounts of opium, including stocks owned by British traders. The result was a Chinese payment of an indemnity of more than 21 million silver dollars, and Hong Kong was ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Nanking.

Britain s Opium War infrastructure — fostered an epidemic-scale increase in opium trafficking into China. By 1830-31, the number of chests of opium brought into China increased fourfold to 18,956 chests. In 1836, the figure exceeded 30,000 chests. In financial terms, trade figures made available by both the British and Chinese governments showed that between 1829-1840, a total of 7 million silver dollars entered China, while 56 million silver dollars were sucked out by the soaring opium trade.

The shape of the pigment particle depends very much on the manufacturing conditions. Basically we distinguish between the traditional cornflake-type (irregular shaped) and the so-called silver dollar-type (lenticular, round-shaped, smooth surface). The thickness of these pigments varies from 0.1 to 1 pm (Figure 5.30). 

One of the doctors asked me to participate in a test he was carrying out. He had a bottle with a small amount of mustard gas in it, dissolved in some solvent. He put one drop on my left arm and told me to record what happened over the next several days. A hemispherical blister formed over an area about the size of a silver dollar. It was painless, and the stretched skin was smooth and tight. After a few days the blister dried and cracked releasing fluid, the skin came off, and there was a sore for many days. The sore healed, but even now, year 2001, I have a constellation of small red spots on my arm where the mustard blister had been.

The United States established its first mint to make silver and gold coins in Philadelphia in 1792. Some of these old gold and silver coins have become quite valuable as collector s items. An 1804 silver dollar recently sold for more than 4 million. A silver dollar is actually 90% silver and 10% copper. Because the pure elements gold and silver are too soft to be used alone in coins, other metals are mixed with them to add strength and durability. These metals include platinum, copper, zinc, and nickel. Metals make up the majority of the elements in the periodic table.

One of the traditional alloys for making coins is a mixture of copper and nickel. Today only the U.S. nickel is made from this alloy, called cupronickel, which consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel. The modem U.S. dollar coin, often referred to as the silver dollar, doesn t contain any silver. It consists of copper (88.5%), zinc (6.0%), manganese (3.5%), and nickel (2.0%). In 2007 the U.S. Congress created a new series of 1 coins honoring former U.S. presidents. The coins have not been popular, and supplies stockpiled. The U.S. Treasury secretary suspended further production of the coins in December 2011. 

By 800 B.C. silver was probably in use as coinage in many civilizations, and until relatively recent times, the U.S. silver dollar consisted of 90% Ag with 10% copper. However, by the 1970s coinage accounted for only 8% of the world silver production. New coins no longer contain silver, as its market value is now greater than would be the exchange value of the coin. However, the metal and its compounds continue to play a prominent role in many industrial and conunercial areas.
