How do I remove the gold from the connectors on computer memory sticks?
Every google link I tried gave me things like "Turbo Memory Gold! Remove unwanted overflows from memory" or stuff like that.
Thanks!
I already know that there are going to be responses that say "it's not worth it." So please assume I understand it's not worth it.
Found the answer here:

maybe a paper-chip and scape it off. But be aware that if you remove the gold connectors that ram will not work anymore.

You can leach it off with a 5% solution of sodium or potassium cyanide (REALLY TOXIC STUFF!!!), a dash of hydrogen peroxide makes it work faster. Then you can electroplate out the gold.the soluton is reuseable just add a litte more cyanide if it quits working. Another metod is digest the metal in 50% nitric acid this will leave pieces of gold leaf behind which you can filter out. Gets kinda expensive

You are definitely not getting rich with that amount of gold. The gold is useful because it is very conductive and therefore ensures a steady flow of electrons. Beyond that, if you want to do this as hobby chemistry, you can check this link out, and please make sure you don't hurt yourself:
