Notes

Monetary coins are a special type of item. When held normally, they do not count against your total inventory, but do have weight and will impact your encumbrance if carrying a large amount. They are also susceptible to theft.

Dropping coins will create coin items on the ground. Coins may be placed in and retrieved from moneybelts to protect them from thieves.
