It depends on what country you're referring to, but yes, most countries whose currency is called dollars mint coins with that denomination.

The US is the lone exception to having a widely-circulating $1 coin. At this writing (2015) $1 coins are being minted only for sale to collectors. The reasons are a combination of politics and American resistance to change. The company that has a monopoly on making paper for $1 bills successfully lobbied the US Congress to prevent discontinuing the $1 bill; in addition, the first attempt to mint a small-size $1 coin failed due to political meddling that soured the general public on the idea of using any kind of dollar coin.
