Checked out the U.S. Treasury Website this is qhat came of your idea.
"There are quite a few denominations of coins that the United States Mint does not produce any longer for general circulation. They are the half-cent coin, the two-cent coin, the three-cent coin, the half-dime coin (although it was replaced by the five-cent coin), a twenty-cent coins, and the various denominations of gold coins. Although the Mint does produce a series of gold bullion coins, these are not intended for circulation."
Otherwise the US dollar and it's larger kin don't have any intrinsic value, other that that of the current flux of the market. I love getting the green, but don't you feel cheated that its worth has declined?
