About the episode

Most stories keep going even after we set down our microphones and the music fades up. That's why, at the end of each year, we look back and we take stock. We call this tradition "The Rest of the Story." And we bring you updates on the stories we've reported, and from the people we've met along the way.Today, we check in on an engineer and patent attorney who made a safer saw; we get an update on the Planet Money game; an update on money in Gaza; and we have updates on a diamond that may or may not have had a second life. Listen to the original stories:The Subscription Trap Planet Money buys a mystery diamond In Gaza, money is falling apart BOARD GAMES 1: We're making a game  How to save 10,000 fingers This episode of Planet Money was produced by Luis Gallo, edited by Alex Goldmark, fact-checked by Vito Emanuel, and engineered by Debbie Daughtry.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Play the new version of our game here.
