$1.00 is what the Martin Van Buren coin is worth but may not be worth face value according to coin experts and god we trust located on the side of the coin (not the top or bottom) will be moved to the top of the coin in 2009
More As of 01/2011 the coin is still only worth $1. Except among religious conservatives, the location of the motto (In God We Trust, not "And" God We Trust) was a non-issue and has no effect on its value.
To correct terminology, the sides of a coin are technically the obverse and reverse, or more commonly simply front and back. "top" and "bottom" refer to orientations of the design on each side.
And of course, the coin isn't really gold, just gold-colored brass. The dates 1837-1841 are the years van Buren served as president. The coin's minting date is 2008 and appears on the edge along with the mint mark and mottoes.
Unless it's a Proof coin it's just a dollar. If you got it from a bank or in change, spend it.

Aston Martin Lagonda Limited was founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in England.
Arthur is certainly not on any US money in circulation today and I do not think he ever appeared on US money. However, he is scheduled to appear on a one-dollar US coin, due to come out in February, 2012. (update- these coins were issued as scheduled. They were available by order from the mint for about $4 each in sets. )
No! he never come back to the Catholic church instead he opposed the teaching of his old religion.
His I Have a Dream speech was in the middle of the civil rights movement. He was calling for people to quit discrimination and to come together for the highest aspects that man can achieve.
Lots of these are floating around. Private companies make these overstamped coins and sell them as 'valuable collectables'. However, when the buyer tries to collect on their investment, they find that no one collects them. Serious collectors call these damaged coins and may pay a little for the novelty. I'll go as high as a dollar for an interesting one I haven't seen before.
The first US dollar coin was made in 1794.
Martin van Buren was born in Kinderhook, New York.
1996
There is no such thing as a British 20 dollar coin. If you have a 20 dollar coin it must come from some other country (or even British colony)
No one. Predecessors come before not after a person. His predecessor was Martin van Buren. His successor was Thomas Moore
The Sacajawea dollar first was minted in 2000.
The first US half dollars were minted in 1794.
It's German. A 'taler', or 'thaler' (pronounced very similarly to dollar) was a silver coin. 'Daler' was the next form of the word, from which 'dollar' comes from.
There were no dollar coins minted that year. What you have is most likely either a counterfeit coin or a fantasy piece. Either way, they don't have any collectible value, any value would come from the precious metals (if any) in the coin.
An Elizabeth II 2006 One Dollar coin could come from one of the many 50 plus Commonwealth countries using the Dollar as their currency. They would still be in circulation, so they are worth One Dollar in whatever country they come from.
A slightly more sophisticated version of the Magician's Coin. Will the Mexican coin come out of the half dollar?
From a 14th Century German word 'daler', it referred to a coin minted in silver, obtained from a mine in north west Bohemia at Joachimstaler. The name for the coin derived from this place as 'daler' or 'thaler'
