While writing my last post about the actual gold content in a Pyeongchang gold medal, I thought of doing another fun comparison piece.

Read about Pyeongchang Olympic Gold Medals here: https://steemit.com/olympics/@goldmatters/how-much-gold-are-in-the-pyeongchang-olympic-gold-medals

We will work off the assumption that gold medals since 1912 have the minimum requirement of 6 grams of gold plating. As we unfortunately discovered in my last post, a gold medal is just a silver medal plated with 6 grams of gold.

The gold in 1 gold medal, has just about the same gold content as a single gold cube from Menē:

The gold in 5 gold medals has about the same gold content as this Gold Dome Ring from Menē:

The gold in 6 gold medals would be about the same gold as these Sphere Gold Cufflinks:

The gold in 13 gold medals would be about the same gold as in this Wide Verona Cuff:

The gold in 19 gold medals would be about the same gold content as this Roman Cuff:

Finally, the most Gold Medals ever won by an Olympian is Michael Phelps. He has an unbelievable 23 gold medals.

Michael’s medals have about the same gold content as a Heart and Nail Bracelet AND a Stacking Cuff:

The Olympian’s that won these medals sacrificed much of their lives to gain the skills to achieve these victories. This type of dedication should be recognized and given notice. It is a monumental testament to commitment and hard work.

I also believe that the average person, is in their own way an Olympian. We all give up time away from our loved ones to earn a living for decades to provide for our selves and our families.

When we do that, we should be able to keep and protect our accumulated savings. We all need protection from relentless inflation and currency debasement. The only way to achieve this is to have some of our savings in gold.

^I agree.

Not only do we deserve to wear gold, we deserve it to be 24 karat gold that will protect it’s own value forever.

And do it in a way we are proud to wear!

Man, i can only imagine the commitment to creating great content like this. You must have a little spare time on your hands, these comparisons are great.....

but..... now all the Olympians will want Mene instead lol

Thank you. I appreciate the recognition. It is a labor of love :)

We can all tell you put in great time and detail to create works of art within your writing, keep up the good work bud :-D

Loved this post!!!

Thanks brother!

Now that I have seen you play the guitar and I know you can sing, you know you want to play a song about gold while wearing your goldmoney t shirt!!! It’s the new rage!

Playing my electric with a 24k pick from MENĒ!!!

I’ll put something together for you — moo ah ha ha! (...thedamus begins dreaming big...)

It may take a lil while, but it’s game on
✨🤩👍✨

Just resteemed

Awesome! I look forward to it:) it can be a cover if you please. Very cool @thedamus

Any requests?

Gotta’ be one i can do justice too...lol

Heart of gold by Neil young?

Oh hell yeah! Consider it in the works GM
⚡️✨😎👍✨⚡️

I think the Olympics should be giving the winners Menē instead of those "gold" medals.

It is crazy to think about that one heart and nail bracelet have the same gold content as ALL of the medals Michael Phelps worked his entire life to get!

Real value shines through every single time!!

I agree! Vote Menē for the Olympic gold medals!

Those are all great comparisons @goldmatters! Very fun post to read, nice job!

why they cant give athletes real gold medal?

No idea. Too expensive ?

Don't know either.. How much mene would charge for a medal? say.. 50 grams?

Menē ‘s design premium never exceeds 20%. The medal would be priced by current spot price of gram weight otherwise

Would probable cost around $2K for a nice one, but they do also get a cash prize,
so i guess it would be cool if you could use your cash prize partially to get a FULL gold medal

they get soo many sponser..so much money.. still they act cheap

Thank you, need to get that out there 😉

I also believe that the average person, is in their own way an Olympian. We all give up time away from our loved ones to earn a living for decades to provide for our selves and our families.
this concept was very nice
Excellent post good analyses thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I’m glad you like that part

Thanks, do it!!

Excellent your every olympic gold medal ..
