Best Answer

"Golden" Sacagawea dollars and the new Presidential Dollars, don't contain any gold. They are made of a bronze alloy that approximates the color of gold.

However if you have a tiny (14 mm diameter) gold dollar from 1849 to 1889, it's real gold and the bullion value then was about $1. Now that tiny coin has over $100 worth of gold in it, but of course is worth considerably more as a collectible.

What is the value of the 2000 gold plated presidential coins?

Presidential dollars were first issued in 2007. You have a Sacajawea dollar. The golden color on the outside isn't gold. So it's only worth a dollar. If it was plated in real gold it's still only worth a dollar. Gold plating adds no value to coins. In fact it actually decreases the value in some.

Is 2 dollar coins real gold?

You need to be more specific on the date of your coin and the country of origin. For example, some $2 coins are real gold, such as the Newfoundland 2 dollar gold coin which is 22K gold. On the other hand, there are many $2 coins that aren't real gold, for example Australia's modern $2 coin looks golden but contains no real gold, neither does Canada's modern $2 coin. If you are unsure about if your $2 coin contains gold, post a new question including the date and the country of origin.
