if you are really bored, the small rollers are probably stainless. test them with a magnet before your take the time to take them out.
you can pull out the electric motor and unwind it (just kidding) or throw it in with your other electric motors

[DemonWolfe]

The fingers on computer cards are just gold plated and they sell pretty good on ebay, takes alot to make a pound though

[manorman]

Gold plate is not impossible to remove and it is not worthless, it just take a lot of plated material to make it worth your time.

Anything with any type of gold on it, or in it, will never be "worthless".
