What is an Oscar made of?
Of course, the value of the statuette is linked to the material from which it is made. Originally, the Oscar was gold-plated copper, but over time that changed.
Currently, the structure is made with an alloy of copper (2%), tin (93%) and antimony (5%) and yes, it still contains 24-carat gold, since it is bathed in it.
The result is the renowned statuette of almost 34 centimeters and 3.85 kilograms.
How much does an Oscar cost?
In fact, the sale of these prizes has been prohibited since 1950 and the winners must sign a contract to prevent their sale.
According to the norm, if the winner of an Oscar wants to sell it, he must first offer it to the person who established the rule, that is, the Hollywood Film Academy itself, who will only pay one dollar for the statuette.
