'''Gold''' will be currency of all [[NPC]] merchant transactions in [[Diablo 3]], and is promised to have value in the player economy. It is more than likely it will be required to purchase new [[items]], to [[repair]] damaged equipment, and to obtain other necessities. Gold is readily available; [[monsters]] drop it constantly, it falls in showers from [[chest]]s of all types, and loose piles of it can be found scattered about the ground in various dungeons.
