Thread Name: BS: Gold Medals are silver
Subject: RE: BS: Gold Medals are silver
I'll have to verify this answer later but this is what one website online had to say:

"Each medal must be at least 2.4 inches in diameter and 0.12 inches thick ..the gold medal is actually made of silver, but must be gilded with at least 6 grams (0.21 ounces) of pure gold"
