No. Gold hasn't been used in U.S. coinage since the early 1930s.
The answer depends on which country's (or countries') currency. That determines the coinage available. In the Eurozone, for example, there is a 20 cent coin but not a 25. In the US there is a 25 cent coin but not a 20 cent coin.
Depending on context, currency, coin, money, coinage, piece.
Silver is no longer used for circulating coinage, and many coins have been melted, but most are still around, held by coin and bullion dealers or in private collections.
The British Sovereign coinage has been made from 22 carat gold since its reintroduction into the currency in 1817. The Sovereign has a face value of One Pound and was used as currency until the early 20th century when Britain came off the "gold standard", and the Sovereign was replaced with the One Pound note. These days, the Sovereign coinage produced by the Royal Mint is exclusively a collector coin with a price reflecting the value of the gold used to make it.
