US gold dollar coins were minted from 1849 to 1889. They were smaller than dimes and were never very popular due to their size.

The new Sacajawea and Presidential "golden" dollars introduced in 2000 and 2007 respectively are only gold COLOR, not real gold. They're made of manganese brass. Even though some people mistakenly believe the coins contain gold, the metal is far too expensive and volatile in price to use in circulating coins today.

How much gold is in modern dollar coins?

None. No US coin minted for circulation contains any gold. The "gold" dollar coins you see in circulation are brass and contain no gold. The US makes gold bullion coins for collectors, but the gold content is clearly marked on most. If you have a question about a specific commemorative or year, post a new question including the commemorative and year.
