In 1933, The U.S. mint stopped making gold coins for use in daily commerce.

But in 1999, they made American Eagle coins, this time not for the public, but for people who will buy them either as collectors or as investors.

The Eagle is the national symbol and was required by law to be on the $1 coins (and most other coins) until Congress suspended it to allow the Statue of Liberty to be placed on the reverse of the Presidential dollars.
