Im looking at how long gold can last in comparison to silver right now...ok i can't find anything really usefull there. but there has to be a reason why its there, unless properbritish just said that to cook our noodles...
ok there IS gold in computer motherboards, but less than one gram :dotdotdot:
anyway, the question remains, why not silver?
OK! i think i have got it this time... *breath out*
According to
http://www.bluenile.com/silver-jewelry/silver-education
silver is very easily damaged, now let me go see about gold,
ok the same website (http://www.bluenile.com/gold-jewelry/gold-education) «- that's a different page, gold is very strong, and is the most malleable metal, so maybe its because gold is easier to work with, and is stronger... therefore, still so the computer will last longer

were using it in a motherboard, not a hammer. still doesn't hold up. and silver is easily malleable, and theyre less easily damaged and less malleable when mixed into alloys anyway.
