Is gold plated worth anything?
No - it just looks nice. When an item is electro plated, the plating material is very thin - less than 0.01mm - so there is hardly any volume of gold. So even though gold is expensive, a gold-plated item is worth just a few pence (cents) more than the item would be without the gold. This is ok for inexpensive jewelry, but do not be fooled into buying any gold or silver 'investment bars' or coins that are plated or described as '100 mills' or 'HGE' ('heavy-gold-electroplate') - these are just lumps of base metal (such as steel or copper) with no real value.
