There are no "common" compounds that contain significant quantities of gold. Gold is found in trace amounts in many things (seawater, for example). Gold is actually more commonly found uncombined, since it's fairly unreactive.
Compounds of Gold are often called Auric compounds and for a list see the related link.
There really aren't any common molecules that contain gold, and while there are a few uses for gold compounds, they're pretty specialized (gold salts have been used to give a red or yellow color to glass, for example).Gold itself is a metal and therefore not really molecular in nature (the entire lump can in some senses be regarded effectively as one big molecule with highly delocalized bonds).
gold, boron, and magnesium :)
All organic compounds contain carbon and connect with covalent bonds.
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.

The interesting fact is that gold is rather unreactive and forms very few compounds.
Gold does not form compounds very readily. Most known gold compounds are Gold oxide, chloride, thiosulphate double: Gold potassium cyanide, gold ammonium sulphite. The compounds decompose very readily at low temperatures.
pyrite, or " fools' gold " is a compound made up of two elements.
Those that do not contain gold at all -- a very long list!

its not hydrogen that makes a compound organic but carbon. With a few exceptions, compounds that contain the element carbon are organic compounds. Some common exceptions are, CO2, CO, all carbonates as well as all the allotropes of carbon.
Ununquadium don't contain compounds.
Compounds that contain no carbon are inorganic.
