How much gold is in an Olympic gold medal?
Just curious is all.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Surprizing not very much actual gold is contained in an Olympic Gold Medal.
According to the Olympic Charter (OC) guidelines, it states that the gold and silver medals must be made of at least 92.5 percent pure silver, and the gold medal must contain at least six grams of gold.
