Italian AOL CDs

Did anyone else notice that the medals at the Torino Olympics look like CDs?

Does AOL have an Italian branch? If so, I think I just figured out what the Italians have done with some of the disks that AOL mailed to them. They glued batches of them together, slapped on Gold, Silver and Bronze paint, hung 'em on ribbons and are handing them out to successful Winter Olympians.
