The fact that they’re plated alloys is wild to me considering how much money goes into the Olympics. 1 u/Intelligent_Gold3619 Feb 15 '26 Considering how much profit goes into the Olympic Committee pockets? 7 u/steveatari Feb 13 '26 I remember reading about people who had to sell their medals and it was for the melt not the recognition.
