Should check metal content too. I know in games past gold medals were never solid just plated but the silver and bronze were solid IIRC. I always found it ironic that the Olympic champion only got a gold plated medal given how much money was involved in the games themselves.

“Maybe they are made in China.”
Maybe they were made by an Italian auto maker.

Another example of fine Italian craftsmanship. They’re probably made on a FIAT assembly line.

Is there Chocolate inside ?

I’ll bet the chocolate inside the medals aren’t very tasty, either.

Since they get paid for getting a medal, the medal absorbed the cost of getting paid.
