piece of hardware / piece of swag
"2012 Summer Olympics in London: What is the total number of medals that will be awarded at the 2012 Olympics?
I am curious how many actual physical pieces of hardware are handed out/ how many athletes walk away with them."
http://www.quora.com/2012-Summer-Olympics-in-London/What-is-...
"But the actual Olympians who’ve competed is but a fraction of that number, with those who’ve earned medals making up a club that’s even more elite. Too bad scoring one of those shiny pieces of swag doesn’t translate into an instant MMA championship belt. Of course, it should be noted that Askren never won a medal himself in the Olympics –is that why he’s had success?"

Mi też "hardware" lepiej pasuje, "swag" to mogą być medale ale i inne nagrody (zdobycze/łupy).

swag
AFAIK "swag" ma różne znaczenia, które niekoniecznie muszą pasować jako synonim medalu, np.
1. Australian: a bag or a roll of cloth containing a traveller's personal possessions
2.informal old-fashioned: stolen goods
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/swag
To break down the word, it means (Secretly We Are Gay).
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swag + kilkadziesiąt innych definicji.
Myślę, że przydałby się mniej wieloznaczny wyraz.
