The Olympic medals for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games will have a unique design and be made from an unusual material. The gold, silver and bronze medals will be made from metal salvaged from tech gadgets like keyboards, computers and televisions. A company named Teck Resources is recovering the metal from components such as circuit boards and cathode ray tubes. Several hundred medals are being produced for the games, and they will also be unusual for their design, which will feature modern Aborigine artwork and a wavy rather than flat surface. Find out more about the medals on the Vancouver 2010 website.
