If you mean a Sacagawea or Presidential dollar, it has no gold and is worth $1.00. The U.S. has not used any gold coins for circulation since 1933.
Unless the coin is certified bullion, probably none. "Gold" coins are called such because of the resemblance and the traditional that coins were made of precious metals.But...If you're referring to an old (pre-1933) US $5 coin, it contains about 0.26 troy oz. of gold. If you're referring to one of the modern $5 bullion coins sold to investors and collectors, the denomination is artificial. These coins contain 0.10 troy oz. of gold.
a silver/gold dollar coin and 2 fifty cent pieces
The minimum number would be one ($20 gold piece) and the maximum would be 2000 pennies.
A mintmark is one or two small letters located on the coin that indicates where the coin was made. The location varies. From 1968 to date, coins made for everyday use have the mintmarks ( D= Denver & S= San Francisco) on the front. coins before 1968 have them on the reverse of the coins. In 1979 The "P" mintmark was used on the Susan B. Anthony dollar and all other coins starting in 1980 except the Lincoln cent. You don't say what coin you see the letters BP on. The monogram of Bela Lyon Pratt "BLP" appear in the truncation of the Quarter & Half Eagle gold coins that he designed.
Collecting and hoarding gold coins
Well the legend of the rainbow and the pot of gold at one end dates back to the 14th century Catholics. The leprechauns would put their gold in black pots and put a rainbow on top of it so that he wouldn't lose it (Not knowing that humans can see rainbows). Most often, when lucky peasants were to find these pots of gold at the end of rainbows, the amount of gold would vary. The usual amount of gold a leprechaun would store in these pots was around 100 gold coins. If it was an upper class leprechaun he would store not only up to 1,000 gold coins, but also his luckiness. Hope this helps
Sure, and 'tis an Irish Leprechaun you're looking for.
The leprechaun hid his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
They collect gold coins and make shoes. The word Leprechaun is actually Gaelic for shoemaker, which makes sense as the occupation of a Leprechaun is a shoemaker to the fairies.
Hagrid hid gold coins as Nifflers are attracted to shiny things. One of the students tried to steal the coins but were advised by Hagrid that it was Leprechaun gold and would disappear.
