There is very little gold in an Olympic gold medal, but since the medal is redesigned each time the Olympics are held, the amount can change a bit. The gold medals for the 2014 Winter Olympics contained 6 grams of gold. The medals weigh 531 grams each.
Actually, according to statistics, an Olympic "Gold Medal" is actually 90% silver... just another fact.
An Olympic Gold medal is worth 25,000 U.S. Dollars
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
