The reason I am asking is that there are firms in the U.S. that reclaim your auto catalysts and pull the metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) out of it and sell it back to refiners. I do know that rhodium is once of the hardest metals around. So I was thinking at that the rate of maybe 100 pounds of rhodium recovery here in the U.S, you can get 1 short ton of rhodium in 20 years. Also considering that the price of rhodium is somewhere in the $1550 dollar/oz right now, that 35 tons of rhodium armor the mech had costs 1.736 trillion bucks. I am assuming that it was U.S. short tons we're talking about. Legion could had bought himself a country with change for a 10 year operating budget.
