It's almost impossible to determine by yourself unless you have specialized equipment. You should take the coin to a dealer, or possibly a jeweler, who will have sensitive scales and the other tools to test the coin's specific gravity, electromagnetic "signature", and so on.

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.

How do you know if a half dollar California gold coin is real?

The best test is density, since a fake coin can still have a real gold plating over a base metal interior. Gold is denser than any other commonly available metal (there are denser metals but they are even more expensive than gold, so they would never be used to create counterfeit gold coins). You can measure the weight of the coin on a scale, and the volume can be determined with the use of a graduated cylinder (to measure how much water it displaces) then you can calculate the density, which is simply weight divided by volume. Compare this to the density of gold. If it's pure gold, the coin is real.
