Given the geometry I was describing you couldn't allow the silver pieces to completely erode away. You'd have water leaking out the holes the wires come through, not to mention the wire and/or brass washer would also start eroding and contaminating the water with copper, zinc, nickel, etc... So I figure the coins (or bars) would be replaced when they got thin enough they would start exposing stuff. They would have to disassemble the cell and inspect the electrodes a few times during the first month of operation to get familiar with how they erode with use. > It looks like you can buy 100 and 1000 gram ingots of silver.
