Each medal must be at least three millimeters thick and 60 millimeters in diameter. Also, the gold and silver Olympic medals must be made out of 92.5 percent silver, with the gold medal covered in six grams of gold.

What was the cost of olympic gold silver and bronze medals at the 2006 Olympic Games?

So they aren't worth too terribly much, not the metal anyway. Regardless, to the athletes that win the medals, I'm sure they are priceless.
