Maybe like $3.00, I'm not sure what the conversion is, it's not actually made of gold, just gold colored.
 
One pound (British coin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The circulating British one pound (£1) coin is minted from a nickel-brass alloy of approximately 70% copper, 24.5% zinc, and 5.5% nickel. The coin weighs 9.50 grams (0.34 oz) and has a diameter of 22.50 millimetres (0.89 in.).[SUP][1][/SUP] The value of the composition metal in a £1 coin amount to approximately 4.18 UK pence or 6.44 US cents as of 7 January 2012."

 
It's an alloy, something like 70% copper, 25% zinc, a little nickel to round it out.
