The World Cup in South Africa has officially started last night and I'm sure millions of viewer all over the world are watching the game.

So, what are these teams and the countries represent after? They are are after the World Cup Trophy. As they said, the trophy by itself is not worth that 'much' but its the prestige and the honor as a winner is what they are after.

The World Cup trophy is 15 inches tall and weighs over 6 kilos. It's made of 18 carat gold and would have an approximate value of £98,182 if sold at full melt value today. Wow, that's still a lot of money even if some don't consider it much of value. As we all know that gold is very valuable these days and it's always good to be investing in gold rather than the paper money. Many people buy gold coins as a form of investment.
