When was gold last used in US coins?
1933 was the last date for circulating gold coins in the US. The US went off the gold standard in 1933 as a step in ending the Great Depression. The mints had already struck quantities of gold coins with that date and some were released to circulation before the government recalled them, but most were melted. Because of that melting, 1933-dated gold coins are prized. For example only ten 1933-dated double eagles are known to have survived and they are conservatively valued at several million dollars apiece. An actual market value is unknown because the coins are technically illegal to be owned privately, though. Modern gold coins are sold for investment and collecting only. Even though they carry artificial denominations their actual value is based on their metal content; it would be extremely foolish to try to spend one.
How pure are US Mint gold coins?
The ones that were actually used for money before 1933 were 90% gold. The modern bullion coins are 91.675 gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper.
