The US has never made any gold one cent coins. It may look like gold (toning) or may have been gold plated, the counter stamped date or plating was not done by the US Mint and adds no value at all to the coin. The coin is worth one cent unless you find someone that wants it.

No. The US 1961-D penny is 95% Copper and 5% Zinc. Any "silver" cents you have are almost certainly plated. The only exceptions are the famous 1943 steel cents. These have a silvery color in their original condition.
Unless the coin is in uncirculated or proof condition (in which case it may be worth a couple of dollars), the value of a 1961 US dime is probably just the value of its silver content. As of Dec 5, 2008, that would be about 68 cents.
This is not a coin, it's a medal likely dated July-21-1961. It has no collectible value as a coin. Try a NASA collectors web site.
