The Golden Dollar coin, as required by the United States $1 Coin Act of 1997 ( Public Law 105-124, Sec. 4), has a golden color, has the same diameter as the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin, has a smooth edge (in contrast to the reeded, or grooved, edge of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin), and has a wider border than other current U.S. circulating coinage. The use of a gold-colored alloy, the smooth edge, and the wider border all ensure the Golden Dollar coin is easily distinguishable from other coins for both the sighted and the seeing-impaired.
