New restrictions on World Trade Center steel

By
NEW YORK - New York City has asked scrap yards not to sell World Trade Center steel to anyone trying to exploit the September 11 tragedy after a Georgia company began offering commemorative medallions made from the twin towers&#39; girders. <br> <br> About 60,000 tons of steel from the trade center have been cut and shipped to recyclers around the world. It will end up in buildings, cars, appliances and cans, among other things. <br> <br> International Agile Manufacturing, a foundry in Statesboro, bought trade center steel from a New Jersey salvage company and is producing the medallions, which feature a flag waving behind the twin towers. They are being offered on the Internet and at stores for 29 dollars and 95 cents. <br> <br> Victims&#39; families have called the idea insensitive. <br> <br> Alfonzo Hall, the foundry&#39;s president and chief executive, says the company bought enough steel to make six million medallions and has sold about ten thousand.
