Gold Coins by year from 1800 to 1810 1810
U.S. gold coins have had a long yet complicated history. In 1792, the young U.S. government authorized the production of the first gold coins. It wasn’t until 1795, however, that these coins would be minted. The Gold Eagle Coin, which had a face value of $10 during the late 1700s – a significant amount of money at the time – was one of the first. Only 5,583 are known to have been made. The United States Mint would continue issuing several denominations of gold dollars into circulation featuring classic numismatic designs over the year.
