I made a spreadsheet to figure out how many coins were spent on the awards on the /r/politics post , which equals 1,732,500 coins. But because they don't have an even coin=dollar cost, it's difficult to figure out how much actual money was spent.
At the highest-discounted bundle of coins: 82,000 coins for $199.99, the cost of all the awards would be: $4,225.40.
At the standard rate, 500 coins for $1.99, the cost of all the awards would be: $6,895.35.
My guess is the actual cost of those awards is somewhere toward the middle then. So like 5000+ US dollars to pin virtual badges to a single Reddit post whose sole purpose is to link to a specific news article of thousands about the same highly-publicized event.

Xi, you know what to do.
You're right, if we went by the median than it would be around $5,560.38.

I'm sure they use that data responsibly and don't use it to manipulate posts to the front page that generate the most revenue. :capitalist:
