For historical reasons the U.S. never issued a $2 coin but instead struck the oddly-denominated quarter eagle worth $2.50. Quarter eagles were issued until gold coins were withdrawn in 1933.

$2 brass coins are in common use in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, while the UK has £2 coins and the EU has €2 coins. Unfortunately politics and inertia mean it's unlikely the US will introduce a $2 coin in the foreseeable future.

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.
