The pride represented by Olympic medals is priceless, but the medals themselves do have some monetary value. The Olympic Charter's guidelines state that the gold and silver medals must be made of at least 92.5 percent pure silver, and the gold medal must contain at least six grams of gold. Therefore the gold medal is worth about $220.00
