Old Coin

Old Coin

Rare
Upon pickup, gain 300 Gold.

Pays 300 Gold the moment you pick it up. It is Rare, but the merchant never stocks it, and it stops being offered from the Act 3 treasure chest onward (total floor 41 solo, 38 in multiplayer), so in practice it is an Act 1 or Act 2 relic. Because the effect happens on pickup it cannot be traded in multiplayer.

When to take Old Coin

Always worth taking from a chest over a middling Uncommon: 300 Gold is a removal plus a good card, or a relic and a potion, at the next shop. Value drops with every shop already passed.
