It would be interesting to see some of the found items, though likely there is not much that is valuable except it adds up by the volume collected. Do wonder how much silver may be found?

I'd rather be one of the scientists who lives on South Georgia Island. One of the twenty or so people living with all that amazing wildlife.

If it has to be related to sorting discarded coins, I would rather be the person who sorts the coins tossed in the Trevi Fountain, much more interesting mix than what you would see in Morrisville, PA, and that would mean that I was living in Italy.

RYK: Don't knock Morrisville till you've tried it!! But I have to believe they get the materials from a much wider area than just around town, as I don't think the ENTIRE ECONOMY of that town totals what they bring in via recycling coins each year!

And I'd like South Georgia Island (or maybe the Galapagos) as a close second.........
