I didn’t know there was a cash award. I thought it was only the worth of the metal?

I thought so, until I saw that the gold medal has a value of $25,000 and the silver medal is $15,000. These values don’t seem to correspond to precious metal prices unless they use a lot more silver than gold in those medals!
