    Regarding those used gold crowns, they apparently stink to high
    heaven when you go to melt them. When I was a guest student in
    Pforzheim, one of the regular students came in one day with her
    grandmother's old crown (or filling, or something) & asked the
    teacher to melt it for her. He agreed to do it, but made her stand
    there with him, so he wasn't the only one enjoying the odor. 

    Interesting thought, though, that the dentists would just hold onto
    the used bits of gold, then later use them to make something for
    themselves, or sell it for cash, for that matter. Eew!
