The new dollar coins are part of a series of coins honoring ex-US presidents(deceased at least 2 years in order to appear on a US coin) called the "Presidential Dollars Coin Program". They are not made of gold, but composed of 88.5% copper, 6%zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel. The golden color cladding of the dollar is due to the alloy of above base metals. The US Mint is not going to get rid of these dollars. Instead, the Presidential Dollar Coin Program will run from 2007 until the year 2016, at least.

Well remember they did not say gold dollar coins they say dollar coins, so I highly dont thing they would be made out of gold.

If it was gold, then they would have to charge 20 dollars for a dollar coin.
