Silver Thursday
It all started in the late 1970s when the Hunt Brothers attempted to corner the silver market.

To avoid the crash of several Wall Street banks, a number of banks bailed out the Hunts with a $1.1 billion loan.

Some estimates say up to 95% of total supply has been consumed and thrown into a landfill.
