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 chests of all types, and loose piles of it can be found scattered about the ground in various dungeons.
The developers have noted Gold will have increased value and importance in Diablo 3 in comparison to Diablo 2, which has led to some discussion about possible "gold sinks". [1]

Inventory
Gold drops from monsters are deposited into your inventory by simply walking over or near the gold pile. To drop a specific number of coins, right-click on gold in your character's inventory. Type in the amount of gold that you wish your character to drop, and press the Enter key.
Background
During the long reign of peace that existed in Khanduras most towns and cities agreed upon a standard gold coin to use in trade. The Church of Zakarum has tried to have its own currency accepted as the new standard, but so far it has gained little acceptance. Although it would seem that the minions of the Three would have no use for gold coins, many demons hoard all the wealth that they can find.
Gold Value Speculation
It's unlikely that these are solid pieces of gold, and most likely gold plated pieces of other metals. A farmer would not otherwise afford actual pieces of gold. Another option would be that the mineral gold is significantly more common on Sanctuary than most traditional fantasy settings or our own world.
