How much does it cost to buy the olympic medals?
They're not exactly for sale generally.If you're asking how much they would cost if they were just generic lumps of metal and not specifically olympic medals...The IOC specifies that the medals must be at least 60mm in diameter and at least 3 mm thick. The silver medal is made of silver (duh), at least 92.5% pure. The gold one is (perhaps surprisingly) also made mainly of 0.925 pure silver, but coated with 6 grams of pure gold. The bronze medal is, well, bronze. Metal prices vary significantly, and the host city has some flexibility in designing the medals as long as they meet the minimum specifications (if a host city wanted to give out medals the size of manhole covers, I don't think they're specifically prohibited from doing so), making it very difficult to come up with a generic value.

What is the total value of a gold metal?
if you mean Medal, like Olympic Gold Medal that is not pure gold (usually an overlay) and it's value is hard to quantify - to the Olympian is most likely is priceless... actual amount of gold in a Medal is 6 grams - about $200 and the remainder is silver - about another $100... then the minting of course - which is hard to account for on an individual medal basis.. but it must be about 20% of the metal. i think the 2010 medals have jade in them but it can't be too much... so maybe the whole thing costs $450.... and you can buy one on eBay for $50,000

Is Olympic gold medal money taxed?
The answer is yes and no. First, there have been a lot of erroneous blog posts about this topic, especially as it relates to American athletes. Some internet sources claimed the athletes would have to pay a tax of as much as $9,000 if they won a gold medal (false). In fact, the gold medal is only about 1% gold, so it would not have a great financial value. But what is true is that there is the potential of taxes, although not on the medals.American athletes (and those from some other countries too) receive a cash prize when they win a medal. This prize usually comes from the country's Olympic committee, and the amount varies. Some of the awards could be taxed, but as snopes.com (which fact-checked the false $9,000 claim) points out, most athletes won't pay very much, because they can offset the prize against the amount it cost them to train, buy equipment, etc. So it will probably all even out in the end. I enclose the link to the facts about what American Olympians might have to pay, depending on the amount of the award they win.
