Due to a significant rise in the prices of precious metals, Olympic gold medals at the Paris games are now valued at around $900. The medals contain six grams of gold and have seen increased worth because of factors like central-bank buying and heightened retail interest in China. Alongside gold, the price of silver has also surged. Despite their increasing metal value, athletes typically do not sell their medals, which also include unique aspects like a piece of the Eiffel Tower.
