How they make gold medals for the Rio Olympics

For the Rio Olympics 2016, the 5,130 Olympic and Paralympic medals are being produced in Casa da Moeda do Brasil, the country's mint — alongside its currency.

It takes 48 hours to make each medal, so the mint has 80 people working on the medals around the clock.
