Yes yes, I get the point quantities are different.That does not mean it is not rare. Copper is in every home in MUCH GREATER quantities. So is aluminum, steel/iron etc.
It is "trace" amounts, not ounces. You just don't understand how malleable and how thin gold can be formed in. A strand of human hair at 60 - 70 microns thick, for example is 120 - 140 times thicker than gold leaf which is ~0.5 microns thick. And that is nearly pure at 22 karat.
The gold in cars is probably less than 10K to ensure it is very hard.
Gold may be in every household because it is given as gifts and tokens of love. And for the last 5000 years, people don't throw gold away! It may be lost, but typically is it handed down as heirlooms and/or reused over and over again.
And are you seriously going to use the price a pawn shop pays to base the value of anything? You don't seem to understand how pawn shops work. They are rip-offs. A step above a loan-shark. Go to a pawn shop and see how much YOU have to pay them for that same gold ring.
Where did I ever say it was "super" rare? I didn't! I even made a point of saying there are elements that are more rare. And I provided links as evidence to corroborate the facts.
The OP's question has been answered. I'm done here - and to Solaris17, that's a promise.
Rare is not something you find everywhere because of quantity on per item basis.
It's not rare to find gold in computers.
It IS rare people extract gold from Computers.
My point will be unchanged and on topic.
Stripping gold from pc parts is not a viable way to obtain gold, while it's obvious it's value is too low.
Other than that, I agree it's rare compared to iron or aluminum ect. Wasn't exactly where I wanted to go with it.
