Worth more than its weight in Gold
The last Olympic gold medals made entirely out of gold were awarded in 1912. Today’s Olympic Gold Medal is made almost entirely from silver with approximately 6 grams of Gold. The gold medal that will be given to winning athletes at London 2012 weighs in at 400 grams and will be worth around GBP 450 (R5,844). (http://on.mktw.net/Ql5JhN)
