Gold concept art.

Money will play a big part in the in-game. However, with that being said, there are organizational specific currencies that can't be traded. So there is like a general gold that will be very important end-game, but then there's also your progression within certain religions, societies, or nodes will also have... there will be progression-based currencies as well. – Steven Sharif

The general in-game currency is referred to as gold.

• Gold, silver, and copper coins are present in the game.
• There are also specific progression-based currencies that cannot be traded (referred to as bound currencies).
  • Religions.
  • Social organizations.
  • Tavern games (potentially).
  • Node types may have their own specific currencies earned through personal progression within that node.
    • Honor at military nodes.
    • Favor at divine nodes.

In the religious node that you mentioned, one of those concepts is something called "favor"; and favor is acquired through participating in certain religious quest-lines, through repeatable activities that you can achieve it, and through turning in certain types of material acquisitions to acquire the favor. – Steven Sharif

• Monsters don't drop gold, they instead drop hunting certificates.
• Game currency does not have weight.
• There is no cap on how much currency a player can hold.

Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.
