From E-Waste to Treasure: Watch This Content Creator Melt Down Old Sim Cards to Extract Real Gold Particles
Gold has been on a significant upward trend recently. With each passing day, it was setting new records, and the onset of war made the situation even more unpredictable. Naturally, it garnered the attention of both investors and non-investors alike. Some even resorted to unconventional methods, such as searching for gold in lakes.
A social media user shared moments of extracting gold by melting sim cards. The video of the man obtaining a gold bar left viewers in awe.

So, how many SIM cards are needed for one gram of gold?
Standard SIM cards feature a very thin layer of gold plating on their chips. According to average data, there is approximately 0.001 to 0.002 grams of gold in a single SIM card. Consequently, to obtain 1 gram of pure gold, you would need to recycle somewhere between 500 and 1,000 SIM cards.
Is the Gold Bar in the Video Realistic?
The gold bar we see in the video weighs in at about 310 grams. To produce a gold bar of this weight, you would need approximately 150,000 to 300,000 SIM cards. Therefore, it doesn't technically seem feasible to produce a gold bar of this size from a handful or a bucket full of SIM cards, as shown at the beginning of the video.
