What was the cost of olympic gold silver and bronze medals at the 2006 Olympic Games?
I would air on the side of not much. Bronze itself is worth $1.50 - $2.50 a pound I believe, depending on grade. And I'm not sure how much the medals themselves weigh. 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.
