Yes, if it's a precious metal the thickness is probably measured in 10/1000ths of an inch.
10/1000 = 1/100. If the gold was that thick my card would be worth more than the amount in my account.
I suspect microns is the more likely unit of measurement. Or the even smaller micro-inch that @Coding Badly mentioned. I never heard of micro-inch before - but that may be just because I am on the right side of the Atlantic.
