Gold is used in many different types of electronic equipment, especially computers. With the price of gold being at an all time high, there are now numerous companies who are recovering the infinitesimally small amounts of gold. Most of the gold is found in the motherboards.
The toy model weighs 7 kilos. It is made out of solid 24-carat gold and platinum and has a single cut 7.2-carat diamond set in the grill. All detailing is an exact replica of the real Bugatti.
There will be made only three golden Veyrons, said Stuart Hughes, the jeweller and one of the creators of the car model.
I’d like to see those three fools who’d buy them.
The toy is almost twice the price of the real Bugatti Veyron or £2 million, whereas the real car costs £1.15 million…
What would you prefer, this toy model or the real thing? I know what my choice would be.

Aurumania Company presented a golden bike with Swarovski crystals for some 80,000 euro.
Nikolai Aldunin is called the master of miniatures.
He put horseshoes on a flea as well as saddle and stirrups, he also put 7 camels in the eye of a needle and a replica of a Russian samovar that is smaller than a grain of sugar, he made a tank on a sliced apple seed - it is almost impossible to believe.
Nevertheless, it is real and everything is crafted out of gold. Like many other artists who make miniature sculptures, Nikolai crafts between the beats of the heart that allows him to reduce the shaking of hands. This is very interesting to see.
He decorated well his fingers, I admit ;) It looks like it is gold.
But in this case, the question, what is he doing on the bus and not in his car with a driver? :)
