Deep? Let's consider this. I've seen coins with encased jewels, water, a battery & itty bitty light bulb, and luminous material. Maybe a country could mint a coin with an enclosed kidney stone. Sales would soar!

They can actually prove quite valuable...

William Shatner Sells Kidney Stone for $25,000 to GoldenPalace.com Benefiting Habitat For Humanity (http://www.juliensauctions.com/press/william-shatner/)

And I'd like to thank you for the post, because I've recently been diagnosed with kidney stones and found the article most informative :-) I just doubt mine will fetch such a high price as Captain Kirk's!

yeh
I appreciate your post too Aj as I have been plagued by the problem for many years now myself

lowering the salt intake and increasing daily water fluid intake has helped me heaps
& it was good to read about the evidence around the calcium intake which might be something of a myth

yes the calcium is the one that has even the Dr's wondering but for us it's all good news the more they can work out :good:
