I may be wrong though.
What gold value would they/do they have?
It doesn't have any gold in it. While I am sure it might have some value to some who think it really is gold, it ain't.
Composition is as follows from my brief digging.
Core: 100% Cu
Cladding: 77% Cu, 12% Zn, 7% Mn, 4% Ni
Overall: 88.5% Cu, 6% Zn, 3.5% Mn, 2% Ni

You'd be better off buying up silver if precious metals are on your list.
Or more ammo.
