They're called Sacajawea dollars and aren't made of gold and don't honor the new millennium.

Sacajawea dollars were issued in 2000 which is the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st as is commonly - and very mistakenly - believed. The only reason they were issued in 2000 is that the law authorizing their mintage took effect that year.

In addition the coins are made of manganese brass, not gold. After all, with gold at about $500/oz at that time, it would have been a financial disaster for the Mint to put about $150 of gold ion a coin and release it for $1 each!

Billions of these coins have been minted along with the similar Presidential dollars, and they're about as rare as beach pebbles. Feel free to spend any that you find in change.

More information is needed. The U.S. minted real gold dollars in the 19th century and these can now be worth large amounts of money. The "goldEN" dollars minted since 2000 are made of brass, not gold, and are of course worth only $1. If you have one of the older real-gold dollars, please post a new question with the coin's date and mint mark, if it has one.

Is 2000 gold dollar made of gold?

The current "golden" dollars aren't real gold at all. They're just gold-colored, and are made of manganese brass. After all, that much gold would be worth several hundred dollars, so even the government wouldn't be foolish enough to circulate coins worth 600 or 700 times what you pay for them at a bank!
