Yes, I remember something about regular aluminum being extraordinarily expensive also. Was it Napoleon who had the aluminum dishware? Apparently it was also a big deal that the very tip of the Washington Monument was a block of aluminum (something about it being the largest chunk in existance or something). Now? You bring in a garbage bag full of soda cans and they give you a dollar.
