When I was a kid in elementary school, each year the science teacher would pull out the jar of mercury and pour it into a shallow pan, and we'd all run our fingers through it and marvel at how something so heavy could be a liquid.
In the UK, in the days of pounds shillings and pence, LSD, a ha'penny was very much the same size as a shilling. So lots of schoolboys would break open a thermometer and coat the ha'penny with the mercury to make it silver and pass it off as a shilling - 24 times the value. Smearing the mercury on the coin with a finger, of course. I think that's what they call liquid assets.
