I'm wondering if gold coins are actually made of pure gold. I know that gold can be mixed with other metals to form alloys, so I'm curious if this is the case for gold coins as well, or if they are made entirely of gold.

Gold coins with a purity of 24 karats are considered to be the most authentic.
