Take it to see Money Mart, they can test it or find a gold test kit
Take it to a jeweler or coin shop. But beware of leaving coins with a dealer, because you have no proof of ownership.
It is not a coin made in a mint because it has no date on it, but if you want to find out more about it take it to a pawn shop. They will do an acid test on it to see if it's real gold.
24 karat gold is pure gold. So, 18 kt gold is 18/24th's pure or roughly 75% pure gold. If Gold is selling for $1000 an ounce, $750 an ounce might be a fair price for 18 Kt gold. Much of the gold used in jewelry though has other materials that are valuable. Platinum is in much of this gold (as an example). If this is the case $990 an ounce for this gold might still be very low in terms of real value. The best method is to take your gold to a local appraiser and get a fair market evaluation. NEVER send your gold to a broker in the mail, unless you don't care what you get for it.
In the US there are no gold dollar bills.
It depends what you are relating it to. Real gold vs fools gold? Take a hammer, and bash the hell out of it, if it is not jewlery. If it is a nugget of real gold, it will smash flat. If fools gold, it will shatter into a million pieces. Also the sun test. If a piece of real gold is held in sunlight, it will be as brilliant as if a shadow is cast upon it. Other metals will dim, and become hard to see. (This works better, if the piece is small.
Fools Gold is also called iron pyrite or just pyrite. It is composed of iron and sulfur FeS2
If you possess gold (or iron pyrite) ore, it should be immediately clear whether gold or iron pyrite is present. You should be able to distinguish which of the two you have. Real gold is rounder while pyrite is more angular and sharp. Gold is relatively softer and more malleable than pyrite. Gold leaves a golden residue instead of a dark green/black residue as left by pyrite. Google images is a good resource for differentiating the visual contrast of the two.

They have almost no real gold, such a thin layer that it would take thousands of them to get a measurable amount.

Typically, real gold will be stamped with values such as 14k (14 karat), 18k GF (18k gold-filled), etc. The best way to tell; however, is to take the piece to a jeweler who has a gold testing kit or gold testing acids.
