'''Gold''' is the currency used in Diablo 3. All items bought or sold are paid for in gold, and as in Diablo 2, gold is automatically stored in a character's purse, without taking up inventory space. Higher level characters can carry more gold and store more Gold does not need to be clicked on to pick it up in Diablo III; it's automatically picked up when a character moves near a stack on the town stash, though exact figures are not yet knownground.

As a convenience Gold will be less plentiful and more valuable in Diablo 3III than it was in earlier installments of the game. Items sell for much less gold, coins dropped by monsters are in smaller heaps, characters automatically pick up any and there is a lot more worth spending gold they walk over, saving players valuable clicking timeon than was the case in previous games.
