Olympic Medals Worth More Than You Think
Gold and silver Olympic medals, were they melted down and priced accordingly, are more valuable than ever, but third place winners who received bronze may not be as successful should they trade in.
Not that I would think any athlete would swap in their medal for money, what would be the point of all that hard work?
Based on Friday’s Canadien prices for metal futures, the gold medal that Rosannagh MacLennan won in the women’s trampoline event would fetch about $655.
The nine silver medals awarded to Team Canada for placing second in men’s eight rowing – eight medals for the rowers and one for coxswain Brian Price – are worth approximately $3,006, or $334 apiece.
But the combined value of the 20 bronze medals awarded to Team Canada for their third-place women’s soccer win is less than $60.
