    Gold trace circuit board

    What a find! I ripped apart a dead tapeless measuring calculator and the circuit board had many gold contact and connectors on it so just for the heck of it I took a knife and scraped off some of the green shellac on the traces and found that they were gold instead of copper like most boards. And not just gold plated. I really dug into them deep and all they did was flatten out more. Now what is it worth?

    The board is only about 2.5 X 3 inches. In the first pic you can see where I scraped the green off just to the right of the IC. In the second pic I scraped it off on the top left corner.
