History

The American Gold Buffalo coin came about thanks to the 2005 Presidential $1 Coin Act. The bill was initially introduced in July 2004 but wasnt passed by the senate until November 18th, 2005. On December 22nd of that year, President George W. Bush signed the bill into law. The release of the Gold Buffalo enabled the United States Mint to both re-introduce the famous Buffalo nickel design and also to mint its first-ever 24-karat gold coin.
