Gold-clad bars typically have a thin layer of gold over a base metal, which means their value primarily comes from the underlying metal rather than the gold coating. As a result, they are generally worth less than solid gold bars. The market value depends on the purity of the gold layer and the weight of the underlying metal. Collectors may pay a premium for unique or aesthetically pleasing examples, but in most cases, they are not considered a sound investment.
Defenitly. Any coin with a gold content is worth way more than face value.
Depends.... is it official, government produced tender? Is it "gold-clad" or solid gold? If it is solid gold it may vary depending on the price of gold per once. If it is gold-clad (plated) it may not be worth any more than the $50.

The U.S. doesn't make gold clad coins. If you have a Sacagawea or Presidential dollar with a golden color, it's actually made of brass and is only worth $1. Anything else you get, such as a gold-colored dime or quarter or penny, has been plated either for use in jewelry or as a novelty. The plating is extremely thin, often only a few atoms in depth. It would cost more to remove the gold than it's worth.
Look for anything that is "Hypoallergenic". Gold is usually a good bet, but make sure it is real gold and not gold "clad" or "coated". Clad or coating will wear off and then you're in trouble.

No.
That depends on the weight and purity of the bars. They will probably be stamped with relevant information. As of 19 December 2013, gold is worth $1,204.80 per troy ounce. Check the weight on the bars and do the math.
A 24k clad bullion bar typically refers to a bar that has a core made of a less valuable metal, such as copper or silver, and is coated with a thin layer of 24-karat gold. The term "clad" indicates that the gold layer is not solid gold throughout but is bonded to the underlying metal. While it may resemble pure gold, its intrinsic value is significantly lower due to the presence of the base metal. Such bars are often used for decorative purposes or as investment novelties rather than as genuine bullion.
It is the same as gold plated.
