- Silver was first mined in what is today modern Turkey (formerly known as Anatolia) nearly 5000 years ago.
- Spain was considered the silver capital in the time of the Roman Empire.
- The wealthiest mining expeditions were those that occurred with the discovery of the New World in 1492.
- From 1876 to 1920, there was a worldwide 'silver rush' that swept nations previously untouched for silver mining. Annual silver production eventually rose to 190 million troy ounces.
- Silver, rather than being scientifically labeled as a precious metal, is actually considered to be an element. You can find it on the periodic table.
- Most people assume that copper is the most conductive precious metal, but they would be wrong. Silver is highly condusive to electricity, moreso than any other metal known to man. It is also the best thermal conductor.
- Silver has a germicidal effect, meaning it can kill organisms like bacteria.
- Silver is highly reflective (the most out of any element) and can be used in mirrors to great effect. However, ultraviolet light reflects quite poorly in silver mirrors.
