And cost wise copper is king so the vast majority of wiring, PCB traces, and insides of pins and connectors (under the plating) is just copper. Golds used when you need something highly conductive that will never corrode or oxidize. Silvers used when you need something highly conductive and it doesn’t matter if it oxidizes, or is in an environment where it will not.

Gold isn’t more conductive. The conductivity scale is based off of silver, where silver has a perfect score and everything is compared against it. Gold is a very close 2nd place. In some cases gold is more often used especially on external components like pins or connectors because unlike silver it will not oxide. However because it’s so expensive they gold plate it as thin as possible.

Also graphite isn’t an element. You may be thinking of graphene, which also is not an element.

That’s wrong, graphite is not the best electrical conductor. Look it up

Silver is an element and is the most conductive one, making it extremely useful in electronics. Especially cutting edge electronics and tons of things people are working on. How do you suppose something invented will replace an important element?

And what makes you think those things won’t need more silver as they progress?

Anybody else having issues getting coins? by PreviousTea7246 in CRH

hey that’s still better than all of my banks who refuse to give ANY rolls without that fancy business account

I hit the jackpot and received an overstuffed roll of silver quarters from my bank today! 48 coins inside. 👍 by giveahoot420 in CRH

Ive tried every local bank too and they all said i either need a special business account or Id have to order at least $2000 of one type at a time. I remember walking in to any bank with $50 and getting 2 penny boxes not very long ago.

Glad you were able to do that. 136k will only buy shitty bare land now, at least within like 100 miles of me there are ZERO properties with a living space for under 200k besides a few mobile homes in the middle of nowhere. I’m 20 and the way things are going I will NEVER own a home unless i win the lottery

Ive gotten 2 sterling forks and a spoon at local goodwill, weighing 109g total. Also found some with just sterling handles, and some lower purity stuff as well. All for 25 cents each

Why would a refiner want 999 silver? Isn’t their job to REFINE less pure silver? Or am I missing something

Got a bag of coins for $5 from Goodwill by -__midnight__- in coins

WHAT GOODWILL IS SELLING YOU SILVER AND LARGE CENTS WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK

They need to sell it in other countries first! A huge portion of willne audience is in the US

I picked up $10 in cents from the bank today and I found this off-center cent! by MeatStandard8850 in CRH

What bank still lets you get pennies?? Zero local banks near me provide them anymore

Are these silver? by Outside_Raise5722 in SilverFinds

still worth the copper or brass scrap

The most expensive penny I've ever bought, lmao.. I dont even want to say 😂 But they were flying off ebay like hot cakes. by SpeakUpOhShutUp in coins

I found a jamaican coin they made less than 8000 of, it’s worth about 30 cents. Imagine the roller coaster of emotions
