There is no gold at all in the "golden" presidential dollar coins. In fact, there is no precious metal of any kind in any of the coins our government passes off to us as money these days. The last real money issued by our government was in 1964. The coins from 1964 and before contained an amount of silver equal to the face value of the coin. Interestingly, you can still purchase as much today with a real silver dime, quarter, or half dollar as you could in 1964. The fake money we have been duped into accepting today is actually worth nothing more than what the government says it is worth. Try this: melt down 4 1964 or earlier quarters and 4 1965 or later quarters and take the molten blobs to a jeweler or coin dealer. The melted silver will be worth about twelve dollars. The melted base metal from the fake money will be worth absolutely ZERO, which is the true value of today's metal and paper money.
