A dollar coin in the United States typically weighs 8.1 grams or 0.286 ounces.
This applies to several types of dollar coins, including:
- Susan B. Anthony dollar: Minted from 1979-1981 and again in 1999.
- Sacagawea golden dollar (Native American dollar): First issued in 2000.
- Presidential dollar coins: Minted from 2007-2020.
While some may refer to these as “gold” coins due to their color, they are actually made of a copper core with outer layers of manganese brass. This composition, and the specific weight of 8.1 grams, helps to distinguish them from other circulating US coins.
