    I put one of those cards in HCL acid & the fibreboard is soft & absorbed a lot of the acid. Then after a while the gold plate got splotchy & I could see the copper under it.

    The gold came off splotchy into the acid. Normally the gold isn't touched even after a tiny bit of H2O2 is added.

    So I think the gold layer is really really thin, even thinner than cellphone boards gold.
