Since 1986, $25 and $50 gold coins have been produced by the US Mint. While legal tender, they contain, respectively, 1/2 troy ounce and 1 troy ounce of gold (and thus have a metal value roughly 20 times that of the nominal face value), and are intended for bullion or collectors rather than for circulation.
Since 1997, the mint has also produced $25, $50 and $100 coins in platinum - again, the metal value is several times the nominal face value, and these coins too are primarily intended to be a convenient way of holding bullion.
