If you mean is it gold? NO the US mint never made any gold 1 cent coins. it may be a very nice uncirculated penny that sort of looks like gold but it's not gold.

What is the estimated value of a gold penny with a D mint mark dated 1996 that a Denver mint representative said COULD have been a mistake?
There are quite a few manufacturers of gold plating equipment and their sales representatives often use a coin to demonstrate gold electroplating. To determine if it's real gold, you'll have to do a weight test. If it's real gold it should weigh quite a bit more than a copper penny. Was that mint representative the janitor? A 1996 penny would be zinc with a copper plating and weigh 2.5 gm. A gold coin of that size would weigh over 4.0 gm. The Denver Mint wouldn't have had any 19 mm gold planchets to strike this coin in 1996. Most likely what you have is an oven roasted normal penny. When you heat up a copper coated zinc penny to a high enough temperature, a chemical reaction occurs, which changes the coin to a golden or yellow color -- like a new Sacagawea Dollar. These have no added collector value.
Are Sacajawea dollars made of real gold?
No it's not. The outer layers of Manganese Brass give the coin the gold color.
