Шаблон:Infobox U.S. legislation The Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, Pub. L. No. 99-185, 99 Stat. 1177 (Dec. 17, 1985), codified at Шаблон:Usc through (a)(10), Шаблон:Usc, Шаблон:Usc, and amending Шаблон:Usc and Шаблон:Usc, has helped the American Gold Eagle to quickly become one of the world's leaders in gold bullion coin. Produced from gold mined in the United States, American Eagles are imprinted with their gold content and legal tender face value.

The act was passed by United States Congress pursuant to its exclusive power to coin money and set its value, set forth in Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. It was signed by Ronald Reagan on December 17, 1985.[1] One requirement is that all gold used in minting the coins would be from "newly mined domestic sources".
