I do not consider gold to be money. You can't go and buy most goods and services with gold. Gold is a commodity, dollars are money.

Dollars are currency, not money. Money can be a currency and vice versa, but they are not quite the same thing and not entirely interchangable. And fiat currencies are, by thier very definition, not money. Gold, in our modern world, is still money even though it's no longer a currency.

Money is something (such as coins or bills) used as a way to pay for goods and services and to pay people for their work. Also something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, or a means of payment.

Currency is the quality or state of being used or accepted by many people or group of people.
Where did you get definitions? Or you just made it up?
