(And no free tickets for relatives of the athletes either) I'd say it's a fucking rip-off...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9977516 Australia 07/12/2012 11:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Olympic Gold Medals are mostly Silver - Melt Value $494 So the Olympics themselves cost BILLIONS to stage and yet the one thing that both the athletes and the crowd are most interested in - the medals - are cheap imitations.... I honestly thought that they would have factored in the $9M for the cost of the medals into the Billion dollar budget.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17420748 United States 07/13/2012 12:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Olympic Gold Medals are mostly Silver - Melt Value $494 You'd think they could make the metals from about 3 oz of pure gold. With all the TV coverage hoopla, ticket sales, big sponsor money etc. they could scape up enough cash for some real gold metals. Maybe they want the metals to be oversized though for TV coverage.
