Sometimes it's unavoidable, you just have to have a few more coins. Here's how to acquire some role-play cash with L$.

The exchange of L$ for Coins is a two stage process that is conducted in the Office .

First you must buy a "Chest of Gold" from the vendor on the left. The chest costs L$8 and contains 20 gold pieces.

Now rezz the chest and SELL it to the Mint by touching the desk on the right and selecting the Sell option.

The current rate of exchange:

1 gold piece = 25 coins as displayed on your HUD

so you will receive 500 coins for your investment of L$8.

Don't spend it all in one place!!

Behind-the-Scenes Strategy

Wheat farmers have the means to slowly bring money into our economy but as their total number is limited we also need a way for new members (artisans, tourists etc.) to join in the fun.

This money exchange process is meant to facilitate our economic growth in a controlled fashion. Flooding the economy with money would take all the fun out of the "game" as would having to wait six months before inviting new members so we're trying to strike a balance here.

Where do the "Chests of Gold" come from?

We've acquired a Gold Mine. They're actually surprisingly hard to come by (bravo to the G&S creators for keeping things in check) and are limited to 100 sessions. Each session delivers a basket of gold with between 5 and 20 pieces. These baskets are then turned into the Chests of Gold.

The L$ paid for the gold helps to recover the money spent for the Gold Mine.

Once our economy really gets rolling, gold will be acquired with Co-op Coins.

Who can buy a Gold Chest?

Anyone can purchase gold with L$ BUT there will be a limited supply. Perhaps a limit of one chest per member is a good-rule-of-thumb?

If you are committed to making your fortune totally on your own (without the use of L$) more power to you.

We'll keep an eye on the situation and adjust accordingly.
