    Donna, I also have been watching this thread. This is the first I've
    heard off any restriction on the sale or usage of copper on anything
    that touches bare skin. I like working with copper and German or
    nickel silver. I know that some people are allergic to some metals
    and if they use that particular metal they coat it with something. I
    see a lot of copper still being used and for sale around the tourist
    places in the southwest part of Colorado and Taos, Santa Fe. Maybe we
    are just lucky and haven't been caught yet.
