Back in the 90's I noticed higher amperage mechanical contactors had large
silver pads for contacts. Also some quick disconnect cables for power were
silver as well. There are probably other industrial applications that use
gold and silver that nobody notices.
On a side note the ancient romans used to use silver staples to close
wounds, something doctors might have started doing again recently.
We used to rewind slotcar motors with silver plated
wire. Even though the plating was thin, it made
a difference.
