Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This year’s Olympic medals are worth more than ever
The 2026 Winter Olympics, Milano Cortina 2026, is taking place at sites
across Lombardy and Northeast Italy. When the event ends on the 22nd,
more than 700 medals will have been awarded to the winners of the winter sports
events. These medals are more economically valuable than ever because of the skyrocketing
price of gold and silver, which have doubled and tripled, respectively, since
the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The medals use quite a lot of these precious
materials. For example, the gold medal weighs about 500 grams and is composed
at 92.5% of silver and plated with six grams of gold. The silver medal weighs
420 grams and consists of 92.5% silver, and the rest is copper for durability. Even
though the core value of the Olympic medals has been and will most likely be
unchanged, the 2026 Olympic medals are financially the most valuable, at least so
far.
Read the article and learn about how valuable Olympic medals are now.
