Python prints if statement, and not the elif statement, regardless of input

Python is, for some reason printing my if statement regardless of input, even when the statement is false.

 print("Treasure Quest")  
 print("------------")  
  
 name = input("What is your name traveler?") 
 print("Your game name for this game is: " + name+"")
  
  
 goldCoin = ("Take this  gold coin, it's rare!")  
 ans1 = input("Will you take the coin? Yes or No?")
 if ans1 == 'Yes' or 'Y':
  print("You have gained 1 point")
 elif ans1 == 'No' or 'N':
    print(" You have chosen to leave the coin.")
    print("You did not gain a point.")```

Why is goldCoin just a tuple with a str in it? Did you mean to print it? – Tommy A. Nov 10 '21 at 00:30
@TommyA. It's a string, not a tuple although the brackets are redundant. – Selcuk Nov 10 '21 at 00:37

@TommyA. That's actually just a string for reference. It would need a trailing `,` to be a tuple. – Carcigenicate Nov 10 '21 at 00:37
i've tried the in block as suggested, but now when I type N or no, nothing prints, it skips to the next line – Dancing Mudkipz Nov 10 '21 at 00:42
