If it's a modern $2 coin from a country such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand it's made of a brass alloy. Gold is FAR too expensive to use in circulating coins. The same goes for $1 coins in those countries and the US, and all gold-colored circulating euro coins.

Is 2 dollar coins real gold?

You need to be more specific on the date of your coin and the country of origin. For example, some $2 coins are real gold, such as the Newfoundland 2 dollar gold coin which is 22K gold. On the other hand, there are many $2 coins that aren't real gold, for example Australia's modern $2 coin looks golden but contains no real gold, neither does Canada's modern $2 coin. If you are unsure about if your $2 coin contains gold, post a new question including the date and the country of origin.
