  • That roentgenium medal would really be a "once in a lifetime" achievement wouldn't it ?

  • You counted 13 twice at 6:55! Start over.

  • Roentgenium medals is something I considered before. Now I know I'm not a weirdo.

  • @jcyeahful Depleted uranium is U-238, which has a half-life of billions of years. So there's no reason to worry about a medal of it decaying any time soon.

  • I think that the curium could take place of roentgenium

  • it will be good ven 1 place wil have aloy of gold silver and coper

  • Surprised no one has suggested a half bismuth, half nickel medal as a workable placeholder for the roentgenium medal. (Oh, look, "roentgenium isn't in my spell checker. Well, it is now.) Thanks for the videos.

  • Some special edition Canadian maple leaf gold coins are actually 99.99999% gold (5 nines rather than the usual four), I'm Canadian and quite proud we make coins with the purest gold in the world. Actually that would be an interesting video to have showing how Canadian gold is made so pure and why other countries don't bother to make their gold as pure. I have heard it involves chlorine or cyanide I'm not sure which, I think it's chlorine.

  • Probably better with a nice roentgenium + ledd?

  • i'm not a chemist, but if you should made an alloy of element 111 with something that would take out the radiation, and then you could use as replacement for gold, i know it's a silly idea, btw i love periodic table videos

  • @dynamltedoug he missed the glass :)

  • @dynamltedoug hahaha well maybe he just didnt drop the rock?
