Because of the infusion of gold from California, the gold dollar was minted in large quantities, much exceeding any other gold currency ever struck by the United States Mint.
Between 1849 and 1854, gold dollars were minted at Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Dahlonega (GA), and Charlotte (NC). Philadelphia was the largest producer of Gold Dollars,
with the majority of the gold coming from California. Dahlonega and Charlotte relied on local gold supplies, therefore their output was much smaller.
