6克黄金：里约奥运会金牌价值多少钱？ - 里约奥运会,金牌 - IT资讯
IT资讯提醒：里约奥运会开幕式将于北京时间8月6日（今天）07:00开幕
奥运奖牌是如何制成的？
里约奥运会奖牌的设计者是在巴西铸币厂工作的41年的模具的雕刻家内尔松·内图·卡内罗。
他花了大约两周时间，使用精密工具，手工制作了这次奥运奖牌的模具，然后将模具扫描进计算机，数控雕刻机就会雕刻出奖牌，当然这还不算完。
接下来，工厂的工人们会使用大型的压床，用550吨的力来冲压模具冲压三次。
目前，国际奥委会对奥运会奖牌的要求是每块金牌是由至少92.5%银和至少6克的金组成，而所有的奖牌的直径至少60毫米同时要最少3毫米厚，所以奖牌模具压好之后，还需要另外一道工序——镀金。
里约奥运会每块金牌实际上是由494克银和6克黄金制作而成的，价值587美元，折合人民币3900元左右。
当镀金完成，这块全世界运动员梦寐以求的胜利的象征才算真正诞生。
为了保证奥运会的顺利进行，一支大约一百人的团队夜以继日地在巴西铸币厂内秘密工作，以确保在奥运会之前能够生产出大约5000枚奖牌。
奥运奖牌的由来？
最早的奥运会奖牌出现在1896年的雅典，是第一届现代奥林匹克运动会，奥运会冠军被授予一枚银质的奖牌、橄榄枝花环和一张奖状，这枚奖牌就是现在奥运会奖牌的雏形。
奖牌正面是希腊神话中的主神宙斯的头像，宙斯的手上托着一个地球，球上立着希腊胜利女神。
最大和最重的奥运奖牌来自上届奥运会，也就是2012年伦敦奥运会。
这一届奥运会上的金、银、铜奖牌直径为85毫米，重量高达400克，其重量要大大高于以往大部分奥运会的奖牌，体积几乎是在2008年北京奥运会赛场上颁发的奖牌的2倍，但让人失望的是奖牌含金量并没有增加，只是个头大了些。
我们2008年的北京奥运会的“金镶玉”奥运奖牌，则被认为是最有创意的奥运奖牌。
当然说道奥运奖牌最让人津津乐道的还是纯金奥运奖牌，只可惜上一次颁发纯金奥运奖牌还是在1912年的瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的夏季奥运会上。
随着奥运会比赛项目的增多，参加人数的增多，如果现在还采用纯金奥运奖牌的话，只怕会是一笔不小的开销，别说巴西，就连很多发达国家都消受不起。
当然奥运奖牌真正的价值不在于它里面到底含了多少金子，而是运动员们为之付出的辛勤汗水，祝愿我国奥运健儿能在巴西里约奥运会上取得好成绩，多拿几枚金牌。
