Silver is used to make beautiful pieces of jewelry and for ornate silverware and serving pieces. Silver is also used for more practical purposes such as in electronics, batteries and in appliances.

Heat is the world's most common catalyst that helps many processes take place, such as cooking food and baking in ovens. More than 700 tons of silver is used yearly in the world's chemical industry to produce two compounds. They are ethylene oxide and formaldehyde which are both essential to the plastic industry. Ethylene oxide is the foundation for flexible plastics such as polyester, which is found in clothing. It is also used for molded items such as keyboards for computers and electrical control knobs. Ethylene oxide is also used to produce antifreeze coolant for vehicles. Formaldehyde is a chemical that is the building block for solid plastics including adhesives and particle board.

Silver is also used to coat CDs and DVD's and is used in Plasma TVs and monitors. You might be surprised to know that silver has anti bacterial powers. Silver interrupts a bacteria cell's ability to form chemical bonds which they need to survive. Silver prevents bacteria growth but is harmless to humans. Silver imbedded equipment is being used in hospitals for items such as surgical tools, needles, and stethoscopes to help prevent the spread of bacteria. One of the most promising silver applications is silver embedded bandages for burn and wound victims. Silver when polished offers almost perfect reflectivity which makes it ideal for energy efficient windows. This type of coating reflects almost 95% of the hot rays of the sun. It is being widely used in double pane windows because it will save on household energy bills. Silver is being used in prescription sunglasses because it reflects harmful rays from the sun.

6:35 pm	Silver bullion coins Australian Silver Koala Coin Is A Silver Treasure There are some coin collectors who are interested in accumulating a collection of silver bullion coins with exotic animals as their icons, to add to their treasured possessions. These collectors would find a true prize in the Australian Silver Koala issued by the Perth Mint of Western Australia. This mintage is a follow-through of the highly successful introduction of the Australian Silver Kookaburra by the same mint in 1990 and the Australian Kangaroo in 1993 by the Royal Australian Mint. Having all three in coins should be a superb combination for a thematic animal-inspired silver bullion collection. The Australian Silver Koala was first struck two years ago by the Pert Mint, which is famous for coins of excellent workmanship and innovative designs. The 1997 first year of mintage was an instant success as the koala whose image the coin bears is a well-loved creature the world over. Numismatists of course will tell you that it would be erroneous to call this coin as the "Australian Silver Koala Bear," although there is a certain rhyme to this term. The koala is scientifically classified under the genus Phascolarctos, which is rooted from the Greek word "phaskolos," for pouch, and the misleading "arktos," for bear. The koala, however, is a marsupial, an arboreal or tree-dwelling animal found only in the tropical forests of Australia. The jungle, nonetheless, is no place for the Australian Silver Koala, but would be more at home at some treasure chests. This collectors delight is a 1-oz coin made from 99.9% pure silver in a koala design that changes each year. The latest edition has the image of a young koala clinging to a tree branch. The Perth Mint struck the 2008 mintage of the coin with a different design which features that of a mother koala perched on a tree with a baby Phascolarctos at her back. This 2008 mintage has, in addition to the silver standard, a gold coin edition. This firmly establishes that there are, indeed, plenty of treasures to be found Down Under!
