Roger, Ivan, Frank, et al:

Why does there have to be any significant amount of silver 'dissolving' into the water? In the case of the silver dollar placed into a jug of milk, water barrel, etc; wouldn't normal convection currents be sufficient to ensure that all of the liquid in question would repeatedly come into contact with the silver? This contact is enough to cause the demise of any microorganisms which might be present.
