Mining is a big part of Australian history, and continues to shape the country's economy and position in the world today. The nation is one of the world's top producers and exporters of resources, with coal, uranium, copper and gold being some its best-known commodities.  Australia is also a key producer of silver - it was the world's fourth-largest producer of silver in 2015, putting out 1,700 MT of the metal.

by DAN DUNCAN, Guest Contributor Charles Edward Barber was the sixth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1879 until his death in 1917. The works of his career weren't fully appreciated until after his death. During his lifetime his coinage was considered pedestrian in contemporary artistic circles, but in fairness, most of his work was predesignated to specific mandates out of his control.

2015 was a turbulent year for silver. Like many metals, it declined steadily over the course of the year, ultimately recording a fall of just under 15 percent.  While that's undeniably negative, as 2016 drew to a close, market participants were nevertheless hopeful about silver's prospects in 2016.
