Coins
Money, money, money
Tonight on the money programme we're going to look at money, lots of it...
Gold Coins[edit]
This is the common currency of Eternal Lands, abbreviated as "gc". They are dropped by monsters, miscellaneous creatures, some animals, and are used to pay players and NPCs. Like a few items, they do not drop upon a player's death.
Platinum Coins[edit]
Taverns will trade gold coins for platinum coins and back. There's a service charge, so changing back and forth is a sure way to lose money. Platinum coins are totally useless. Neither NPCs nor players trade platinum coins, only taverns and then at a ruinous exchange rate.
Note: These coins will drop upon death; unlike gold coins, they are not undroppable.
