Coins.

Currencies are items for which the primary purpose is to be exchanged (for other items, services, or experience) in a consistent, repeatable fashion. Currencies are typically stackable and can be traded for a multitude of things.

Minigames often reward specific items or points that can be spent only in their respective reward shops, commonly referred to as "minigame currencies."

Traditional currencies

Coins (gold pieces or "gp") are the main form of currency and are almost universal throughout Gielinor, as they are accepted by most shops.

	Coins	Most of Gielinor	Player trading, Grand Exchange, most NPC shops
	Platinum token	Any banker or bank	Fixed exchange rate of 1,000 coins : 1 Platinum token
