In the past mirrors were backed with silver because it was highly reflective. Nowadays aluminium is used instead as it is cheaper and doesn’t tarnish over time like silver does.

9000 metric tons of silver is used by the photographic industry each year; that’s almost half of the total silver mined annually.
