How do you know the difference of gold and gold plated?
Gold is a naturally occurring metal that is deep yellow in color, does not tarnish, and is often stamped with a karat mark (e.g., 24k, 18k). Gold plated items have a thin layer of gold bonded to a base metal (such as copper or brass) and are usually stamped as "GP" or "gold plated." Over time, the gold plating can wear off, revealing the base metal underneath.
Is gold plated real gold?
Yes, gold plating uses real gold. The layer of gold, which is applied using electrochemical deposition techniques (electroplating), is usually only a few microns thick. This layer of gold adds beauty to items, makes them more reflective, improves their electrical and thermal conductivity, and (probably most importantly) makes them very corrosion resistant. It should be noted that the actual value of the gold on a "standard" application like a circuit board edge connector is only a buck or two. It's usually only cost effective to recycle gold plated electronics stuff in bulk. It is, however, important to recycle as many things and as much of the non-useful things we have as it is possible to do. The landfill is not the best place for stuff like that.
