no paper or trees.

I assume you're referring to the small gold-colored coins that have been issued since 2000. Think about it for oh, a second or two. Gold sells for about $900 an ounce. The coins weigh 8 gm each, which is between 1/3 and 1/4 of an ounce. Would even the most brain-dead government bureaucrat create a coin that you can get from a change machine for $1, but contains around $250 worth of gold??

Given that, the simple answer is No. The coins are made of brass.

Why is a 1 dollar coin made of gold?

If you are talking about the coins with presidents on the face and the statue of liberty on the back, they are not made out of gold they are made out of brass. If you are talking about the old 1 dollar coins from the 1800s, they were made out of gold because of the gold rushes and the US government was looking to expand the use of gold in its coins.
