Sorry, dimes have never been made of gold. In 1944 they were made with an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. If yours appears gold it's probably only gold plated. This is common for many old silver coins. It's worth around 2 USD(US dollars) for its silver content. The gold plating doesn't add any value.
The U.S. has never struck a gold dime. A coin that size made of gold would be worth many times more than 10 cents. Your coin is an ordinary silver dime that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. As such it's only worth its melt value, about $2 as of early 2011.
A US dime dated 1944 is a Mercury head dime, it's very common with a value of $2.00 just for the silver.
A '44 Mercury dime is worth about $2.50.
A US dime dated 1944 is a Mercury head dime, it's very common with a likely value of $2.00 just for the silver.
Novelty coins have no numismatic collectible value.

The value of a US dime marked "ten centavos" is zero, since it is a fake. A real US dime is marked "one dime," not "ten centavos."

U.S. dimes have never been made of gold, nor were there any gold coins minted in the 1960s. What you have is a gold-plated dime, not worth anything to collectors above face value.
Some coins do tone to a gold color or it may have been plated but it's not gold. So just spend it.
A 1944 Mercury dime is fairly common with the mintage being around 231 million. I see them on eBay from $2 to $54 depending on the condition.
