 Have you ever thought that medals used in Olympics can hold how much value? According to sources, it is said that an Olympic gold medal should have 92 % of silver and at least should have 6% of gold in it. But the interesting thing in these Olympic medals is made up of recycled material of used phones donated by Japanese people. Still, these medals have materials of worth and value up to 750 us dollars.

 Most people thought that athletes work day and night and spend dollars to stand on the podium for just peace of metal l whose value is no more than a few dollars, but if we look at another side its value is far more than the actual value of the metals used in it. Because when it is set for auction people buy it for millions of dollars, the actual the matter here is the medal which is earned on the world greats competition and medal value also depend up who earn it.

Another thing which we see in the Olympics is during the medals ceremony where the winner holds the medal between his moth which is an old tradition for checking that is the gold is real or not. It is said that till 1912 medals are made of pure gold, but after the world war, silver is covered in gold.
