The Chinese began immigrating to the U.S. to find work in California during the railroad expansion and the Gold Rush. Many Asians were imported and paid brutally low wages to assemble the train tracks or to sift through streams for gold pieces for anxious prospectors. Today, many Chinese-Americans are active in California politics. Some examples are Leland Yee, Fiona Ma, and Edwin Lee.
No. There are private companies that take regular quarters, plate them with a tiny amount of gold, and sell them as "collectibles" at inflated prices. However there's not much of a secondary market for these coins so you'd be unlikely to be able to resell it for even as much as you paid the manufacturer. If you think about it for a minute, gold is currently selling for almost $1000 an ounce. Even at the most boneheaded level of unreality that a government agency might be capable of, making a gold quarter worth $200 and putting it in circulation for 25 cents would never happen.
