力拓（Rio Tinto）銅業部門負責人安德魯．哈丁對旗下位於美國猶他州的科力托銅礦頗為自豪。按照他的說法，這個直徑將近5公里，深度達1300多米的露天銅礦，是可以在太空中肉眼可見的極少數人造奇跡之一。

" s) Q# [. q1 c" M公仔箱論壇當然，理論上說有資格挂金牌的選手擁有這個星球上最優質的身體素質，更何況獎牌擁有的巨大價值也足以讓他們打起精神。按照力拓給出的金牌成份表，一塊金牌主要由92.5%的銀和6.16%的銅構成，金的含量只佔可憐的1.34%，但即使這樣，在金銀這些貴金屬價格居於高位的情況下，每塊金牌的金屬成本也達到歷史最高的786.4美元。5.39.217.76+ S1 f6 N: w- c4 z8 c  _, _9 A! A8 A

當然，由於每塊金牌都凝結著更多的競技含義和社會價值，因此金屬成本可能只是其百分之一。比如一個多月前烏克蘭運動員克里琴科為籌集善款拍賣他在1996年亞特蘭大奧運會上贏得的重量級拳擊金牌，就拍出了100萬美元的天價。
