The Golden Dollar is a clad coin and the alloy layers on each side of the core are manganese brass, a golden-colored material composed of 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, and 4% nickel. Taking account of the copper core, the overall composition of the Golden Dollar is 88.5% copper, 6.0% zinc, 3.5 % manganese, and 2.0% nickel. The coin's composite construction provides security features that allow machines to distinguish it from slugs, tokens, and foreign coins.

From what I've found, the new ones will have the same composition as that Injun woman's coin:
88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel
In other words, nothing of real value.
