Actually, part of my original comment mysteriously disappeared.

Did you know that the tip of the Washington Monument is a 100-Oz aluminum pyramid? Back in the 19th century, aluminum was extremely rare, as they hadn't yet discovered the modern electrical smelting techniques that make it a disposable metal.
