Modern Olympic gold medals aren’t actually solid gold anymore, they’re mostly silver plated with a thin layer of real gold.

Today’s medals are made of at least 92.5 % silver with about 6 grams of gold on the surface, meaning only around 1 % of the medal is real gold, compared with medals from the early 1900s that were solid gold.

It’s a reminder that the value of Olympic gold today is more about what it represents than the metal itself
