<VV> Convertible Canisters

Someone told me that the four steel canisters in the corners of my '68 Monza
convertible are full of DEADLY MERCURY and are there to act as ballast to
stabilize the car.

Is that true?  Do they rust out and leak eventually?  What about rupturing
in an accident?  Should I be concerned about it?

Thanks much.
