Well I have two but don't know if they are gold plated or actually gold. I have herd [sic] of special edition quarters that were only made at the turning of the millennium
CorrectionThere were no special-edition US quarters minted to mark the end of the millennium in 2000*. All US quarters dated 1999 to 2009 were struck with designs honoring US states, territories, and possessions.Gold-plated quarters aren't produced by the Mint. Many private companies plated these 1999-2009 coins with a thin layer of gold and sold them as "special collectibles". Sometimes a person will accidentally spend one of them and the person who gets the coin will think they've received a "gold" quarter in change.
In reality an individual plated quarter only has a few micrograms of gold on it and has no added value. There are niche collectors who will pay extra for a complete set of these coins in their original holder, though.
(*) According to thousands of calendar experts, the year 2000 marks the end of the second millennium because there was never a Year 0. The first millennium went from 1 to 1000, the second from 1001 to 2000, and so on.
