At a waste-management facility in Morrisville, Pa., workers load incinerated trash into industrial machinery that separates and sorts metals, then sends them to get hosed down. The reward: buckets of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.
Americans toss as much as $68 million worth of change each year, according to Reworld. The sustainable-waste processing company is on a treasure-hunt to find it. The company says that in the seven years since it started the effort, it has collected at least $10 million worth of coins.
Coins are as good as junk for many Americans. Buses, laundromats, toll booths and parking meters now take credit and debit cards and mobile payments. Using any form of physical currency has become more of an annoyance, but change is often more trouble than it is worth to carry around. The U.S. quarter had roughly the buying power in 1980 that a dollar has today.
Because coins can be hard to spend, they circulate slowly through the economy—or don’t circulate at all. More than half of the coins in the U.S. are sitting in people’s homes, according to the Federal Reserve...
Many coins are also getting left behind. At airport checkpoints, the Transportation Security Administration collects hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of them each year. Coins are left in couch cushions or cars, then sucked into vacuums and sent to landfills, said Dominic Rossi, Reworld’s director of finance and business support...

Have you ever wondered how an email sent from New York arrives in Sydney in mere seconds, or how you can video chat with someone on the other side of the globe with barely a hint of delay? Behind these everyday miracles lies an unseen, sprawling web of undersea cables, quietly powering the instant global communications that people have come to rely on.
Undersea cables, also known as submarine communications cables, are fiber-optic cables laid on the ocean floor and used to transmit data between continents. These cables are the backbone of the global internet, carrying the bulk of international communications, including email, webpages and video calls. More than 95% of all the data that moves around the world goes through these undersea cables.
These cables are capable of transmitting multiple terabits of data per second, offering the fastest and most reliable method of data transfer available today. A terabit per second is fast enough to transmit about a dozen two-hour, 4K HD movies in an instant. Just one of these cables can handle millions of people watching videos or sending messages simultaneously without slowing down...
And for that — as well as for Catholicism as a whole–one can look to the City of Saint Augustine, Florida, which sits right there quietly on an inlet of the Atlantic.
The nation’s “very foundation”?
That’s said because the small (but growing) northern Florida community is the country’s oldest city.
It is also the site of the tallest documented Cross in the world.
It is where the first official Mass was celebrated.
Mendoza sailed across the Atlantic in 1565 alongside Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, who was tasked by the King of Spain to remove French settlers and establish a colony in Florida. “He brought Catholicism to America and gave the first Christian mass in the United States,” says Professor David Arbesú of the University of South Florida...

Just the other day I was watching a TV program where they explained how gold got transported by water that eroded it down the hill and into the valley. The trouble, as I saw it, was that the valley was many miles wide and the mountains miles away. I just thought it seemed unlikely that the gold was washed so far across so much flat land unless the landscape had changed a lot since the event or unless it was a huge event like Noah's flood.
Then I saw a headline about a volcano, Erebus, spewing gold into the atmostphere. Here is an excerpt from that article.
An active volcanic peak in the Antarctic is spewing a fortune's worth of gold into the atmosphere every day, as per a report in the New York Post, Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's 138 active volcanoes, is known for emitting pockets of gas containing approximately 80 grams of crystallized gold each day, valued at almost $6,000 (Rs 5 lakh), according to experts.
The dust is present as far as 621 miles away from the volcano which stands at 12,448 feet. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Earth Observatory, gold dust is just one of many things that are being spewed out of Erebus...
So that amount of fine gold might not seem like a lot, but I can also imagine a mega eruptions in the distant past, maybe like those that formed caldera in Yellowstone Valley, throwing larger particles, perhaps even nuggets great distances. I don't know, but maybe that could explain it.This Volcano In Antarctica Is Spewing 80 Grams Of Gold Dust Everyday (ndtv.com)
