<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2259942, member: 69760&quot;]This is a bit random and I wasn&#039;t sure as to where to post this. But...</p><p><br /></p><p>How much gold is in a 23kt gold plated Michael Jordan and other similar sized cards? You can&#039;t legally advertise that it&#039;s 23kt gold if it&#039;s not, so it must be real right?... But, it&#039;s probably an &quot;insubstantial&quot; amount of gold foil plating the card. I&#039;m curious to know how much actual gold is layered on top. Since 23kt is 95.833333333% pure gold, I figure the gold value is 0.958333333 x weight in grams x gold price per gram.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimensions: I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s at or near 3 microns thick... that means it&#039;s 2.5&quot; x 3.5&quot; x 3 microns on each side of gold of about 95.83% gold = 0.3272 grams x 0.9583 gold content = 0.31355576 grams of gold on each side = 0.62711152 total grams of gold. Doesn&#039;t that mean that 23kt gold plated cards are worth $23+ of gold at current spot gold prices? Of course, the 3 microns thickness is an assumption...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for your knowledge on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
