@A_V_West @Mericamemed Not true, they just did not have the funds to gold plate it at the time which was the original intention

@LisaO_SKINMETRO @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump I think you're thinking of someone else, but no worries I feel with recent events this is less likely to happen. One can dream!

From Grok: @elonmusk & @realDonaldTrump "Polishing the Statue of Liberty to restore its original copper shine and then applying a gold coating is a fascinating thought experiment, but it’s a complex task that’s never been fully done in this way, so we’re working with estimates based on its size, materials, and past restoration efforts. Let’s break it down. The Statue of Liberty stands 305 feet tall from the base of the pedestal to the tip of the torch, with the statue itself being about 151 feet. Its exterior is made of copper sheeting, roughly 3/32 of an inch thick, covering a surface area estimated at around 31,000 square feet when accounting for all its contours and folds. Polishing this would mean removing the green patina—a protective layer of copper carbonate formed over decades—and then buffing the copper to a shine. After that, applying a “full gold coating” could mean anything from gold leaf (like the 24-karat gold already on the torch) to a thicker plating, so I’ll assume gold leaf for practicality, as it’s historically been used on the statue. For polishing, we can look at the 1980s restoration as a starting point. That project, which didn’t aim to polish but to clean and repair, took about two years (1984–1986) with a team of over 20 workers, plus contractors, using advanced techniques like liquid nitrogen and sodium bicarbonate blasting to strip old coatings from the interior. Polishing the exterior would be more labor-intensive because you’re not just cleaning—you’re abrading the patina off and shining the copper. A professional metal polisher might work at a rate of 50–100 square feet per day on a flat surface with modern tools, but the statue’s height, curves, and inaccessibility complicate things. Scaffolding (like the 300-foot aluminum setup used in 1984) would be needed, and workers would have to dangle from ropes or use lifts, slowing progress. If a team of 50 worked 8-hour days, polishing 20 square feet per person daily (accounting for difficulty), that’s 1,000 square feet a day, so roughly 31 days for 31,000 square feet. But weather, safety, and logistics—say, only working half the year due to New York Harbor’s conditions—could stretch this to 2–3 months of active work, plus setup time. Now, the gold coating. The torch, replaced in 1986, has a gold-leaf finish over copper, applied by hand. Gold leaf is ultra-thin (about 0.0001 inches), and covering 31,000 square feet would require around 1,000 ounces of gold (at 1 ounce per 30 square feet, a rough industry estimate). Applying it is meticulous—artisans might cover 10–20 square feet per day each, depending on conditions. With a team of 50, that’s 500–1,000 square feet daily, or 31–62 days of application time. Weatherproofing and sealing the gold (to prevent it flaking off in the salty harbor air) adds another step, maybe a week or two with spray sealants. Total time? Setup (scaffolding, permits, etc.) could take 3–6 months, polishing 2–3 months, and gold leafing 1–2 months, plus sealing. Adding buffers for delays—like storms, funding, or the sheer audacity of coating a national icon in gold—you’re looking at 9–12 months of active work, spread over 1–2 years to account for seasons and planning. This assumes modern tools, a big crew, and no major hiccups (like public backlash or copper thinning out from over-polishing). Realistically, though, the patina protects the copper, so removing it entirely would weaken the statue unless a new protective layer (like the gold) holds up. The 1980s restoration cost $87 million—today, with gold prices at $2,500 per ounce and labor, this could easily hit hundreds of millions, making it a wild, if shiny, dream. What do you think—worth it for the dazzle?" The tourism of doing this for America's 250th birthday would pay for this alone & surely we can just use some of that Fort Knox gold? Put it out in public, It's just sitting in a basement anyway (maybe)

Undergo major public restoration work to clean/respolish the statue or liberty to her original penny sheen and gift a full 24k solid gold coating for her birthday (as was also the original intent) to increase tourism for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independance, celebrate her original wonder in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, pay tribute the the score of immigrants that have come to this country legally and respectfully to build a better life and world, not just to maintain the Great American dream and project but to restore and improve upon it (they wanted to do at the time but the base was already too costly) and most importantly - prove that no matter how dark of night, liberty will always shine!

@EricDarnes 100% Let's do that as well I just think people would travel from across the world to see this, it would more than pay for itself

@ColoradoCD4 Bartholdi originally intended for her to be gold plated but they just lacked the funds and ability to do so Don't you think she would like it?
