You mean the outside? or the pins?

The outside definitely won't have any real gold, since that doesn't even connect to transfer data.  It'll either be pained or a gold colored alloy (copper + some other stuff?).  I've once had a USB with a plastic outside, and the only metal bit is the pins.  

As for the pins, don't know.

if it wasn't so ridiculously extraneous, i would go buy a flash drive just to mod it.

Not exactly this, but looks something like it, has a similar sliding style, pretty much all plastic.  Can't find any pictures for my exact one, it's like a 128MB from years past.

Ok, no more responses in the last 10 or so minutes, locking.
