Jack Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I know its "Gold Pieces", but the in game name is and always has been "Coins". When did people start saying gp? Ever since Ive been paying (7-8 years) I have referred to it as gp. How did it stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chief Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Not sure where it originated but people probably used it instead of coins because it's shorter and faster to type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneeze Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) thought it meant "Gold Points" Edited June 3, 2014 by Sneeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think it may come from older games that referred to currency as gold points, I'm not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikasa Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 coins can be considered copper, nickel, etc. the "coins" in game are specifically pieces of gold, which is the in-game currency so the name "coins" is just a general name for it, since it's the only type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithrocks Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think its just because one gold piece is simply a gold piece in the inventory :P Or maybe the first players of runescape played a similar game before it where the money was called gold piece? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
