That's ridiculous. Gold is far more valuable as a mammalian decoration than as a conductor.

- bisrig 14y agoGold is a very significant part of electronics manufacturing, especially high end/high rel work. A couple of examples are plating on connectors and switch contacts (corrosion resistance) and ENIG PCB finishes, but there's a lot more where those came from. So while you may feel its value is higher as jewelry etc., its utility is still quite high in electronics.
