is weapons grade plutonium is considered a precious metal ? 
If you thought the china made Olympic uniforms were a good example of our governments budget decisions have a look at this link.

We seriously have mall cops guarding our nuclear bomb material . The same people that couldn't provide enough security for the olympics are in charge of nukes in Tennessee and they can't stop an 82 year old nun .

What does this have to do with coins or PM's?

They had just received a call that the hot light was on at KK & were deciding who was going to make the run ! ! !

Its tough to find an accurate daily spot price for plutonium , but in a few places I saw numbers from 2008 of $4000 to $6000 a gram
Pure plutonium has a tendency to oxidize and catch fire so making the Eagles out of .999 might be a bit unwise . On the other hand a constantly smoldering pocket piece that puffs radioactive poisonous dust into the air would be a great conversation starter.
In any case if you decide you want to collect them , its absolutely critical not to keep more than 208 of them in the same box .

No, you want to line them with something like boron that will absorb neutrons.
FWIW, I would certainly consider Pu as a precious metal. There is a story, from WWII, of using a gold hemisphere as a doorstop for the room that held the Pu pit, probably for the Trinity test.
The Manhattan Project scientists tested many different metals, I think for the neutron reflecting 'tamper', including gold. The value of the gold was so insignificant compared to the Pu that it seemed appropriate to use the gold for very mundane things!

This sounds like religious mumbo jumbo; pure superstition.
In what critical mass did they teach you this?

a very close second are unchecked greed and corruption

Economy based on consumerism and the service industry along with a dwindling manufacturing base. We always had an economy based on some consumerism but it is unbalanced now.

It is also true that greed and corruption inhabits both ends of the social scale, particularly those on the receiving end of those same government benefit programs.
The travesty is that those in charge of doling out government benefits - have cadillac plans that were paid for by a burgeoning new group of former workers who have no chance of recovering as middle class contributors - under the policies of a government that is hellbent on making more and more people into hopelessly lazy, hopelessly uneducated, hopelessly unaccomplished welfare dependents - in return for cheaper and cheaper votes.
I knew it would happen.

Not sure we can really do anything with Greed and Corruption. That's always been with us. Eliminate it, and the hole will get filled in quicker than a blink of an eye.
The debt issue is something we can address. I don't think we'll ever pay off the debt. Something bad, then something creative will happen to keep it in check.

This is the base root of truth to the whole thing. So many people get tied up or railroaded into other agendas and never get to understand this simple fundamental value/concept. As time marches on, it has become easier and easier to not be accountable for debt - driven by...you guessed it...greed and corruption on the personal and sovereign levels. Debt isn't necessarily bad; it has it's time and place. It's the debt management course curriculum that seems to be lacking.
By the way, don't sweat the plutonium. If I recall, the body only readily absorbs if you inhale or slightly absorbs if you ingest - it's a real kicker to the lungs. Oh, and that's right: don't get it wet - you won't like happy-fun ball when it's wet.
Add this to the OP's list.
