Gold

Gold is the currency within Risk of Rain that the player uses to buy items from chests, shops, and shrines. How much gold the player has is displayed on the top left corner of the screen.

When the player activates the teleporter, all gold collected on that level will be converted into experience and absorbed by the player.

Gold denominations work as such (as of Beta 0.30.4.0) :
 * Small coins now represent 1 (same as before)
 * Coins now represent 5 (from 10)
 * Gold coins now represent 25 (from 50)
 * Platinum coins now represent 125 (from 200)
 * Bag of Coins represent 625 (new)
 * Platinum Bag of Coins represent 3125 (new)
 * Net gold dropped from monsters have not been changed
