Silver Leaves

What does it mean when an item is ‘struck in .999 pure silver leaf’?
This is a question regarding the new september 11th $20 commemorative for sale at www*911twenty*com. What does this actuall phrase mean? “Struck in .999 pure silver leaf.” The ‘leaf’ part is what’s throwing me off.
Silver leaf is a thin membrane of metal that is applied over another “less precious” metal.
In short, do not waste your twenty bucks. Though I am not judging you, I see these items as a form of exploitation. It exploits the tragedy of that day, and it exploits the buyer who may not be as thoughtful as yourself.
Perhaps I feel this way because I am a native New Yorker, but I digress… The coin is not worth it, regardless of what it represents.

Treasure Planet $18.98 Not exactly the most seamless adaptation ever attempted, this animated version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic swashbuckler (now set in outer space, even if the “ships” appear inexplicably unchanged since the 18th century) at least benefited from Disney’s always high production standards.
