It depends. An older gold coin is worth more as a coin if it is in mint condition. That means it looks perfect. It was never used. If it is worn or damaged, it might be worth more for its weight in gold.

Gold is sold by the ounce, ergo, whatever coin you possess is worth at a minimum its weight in ounces.

But if you have a modern US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand $1 coin, none of these contain any gold. They're just brass and only worth face value.
