It's not an official Mint product. Between 2004 and 2006 the US Mint produced special nickels featuring images from Lewis and Clark's expedition. Some private companies gold-plated standard coins and sold them as "special collectibles". Most coin collectors consider them to be altered items with no added value, but they can fetch up to $2 each on some auction sites that cater to special niches.

Gold-plated but not gold. It's an ordinary nickel that someone plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece. The US never minted nickels (or dimes or quarters for that matter) out of gold - it's worth far too much to use in small-denomination coins.
10 cents for the copper-nickel coin underneath and about a penny or 2 for the gold plating. The US never minted gold dimes - they'd be worth A LOT more than 10 cents, after all!
