Olympic Medal
So, I've been thinking about Olympic Medals and I think think that if someone is awesome enough to win a gold medal than that shit better be solid ass Gold. According to the I.O.C. Rules, gold medals need to have a minimum of 92.5 percent silver content and at least six grams of gold. Come on now. That's only carries a value of around $705 bones at current metal prices. Make that shit solid gold. That's bullshit. All that tells me is that you are a winner on the outside but a loser on the inside. Just like the medal composition.
I know that's a shitload of coin to pull out but damn, It needs to be a gold medal. This is bullshit, I'm writing the IOC a letter.
When I become the king of America, and we have people over for the Olympics, my ass is handing out solid gold. Why, because that's the way I roll.

So assuming King Ed Issues a Solid Gold Medal. Given that my Gold Medal is 4 inches in diameter by 1/2 inch thick (Hell yeah that's a respectable medal)
That gives us a 4.38 lb medal. Which, in todays gold prices would come to a value of
$113,529.60 US Dollars.
That's Peanuts Kids. Especially in Obama Dollars.
Each gold medal contains 1.34% gold
CleyonSeeing how each Gold medel winner is paid $25,000 I don't think they mind (until Uncle Sam take's more than $8,000 of it in taxes).
That some bull shit that they take that much. They deserve all of it tax free. I heard they have been taxing the medals as well
Supernova283Do you realize how expensive that would be?
Yeah, to a PUSSY!
King Ed of the USA would make it happen even if he had to sell a nut.
Vote Ed. King of the USA.
Gold is so expensive now a days man its crazy! Lol
imagion if it was pure though,the chinese government would be taking it from the athletes...lol
