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.
History
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.
