All cards have a [[cost]] in Coins, even if that cost is {{Cost|0}} (if a card shows no Coin cost, due to only costing {{Cost|P}}, it is assumed to have a Coin cost of {{Cost|0}}). This cost is mainly used to determine how much Coin must be fielded by [[Treasure|Treasures]] and [[Action|Actions]] to Buy a card during your Buy phase. In addition, many cards have other effects that depend on their own cost and/or the cost of other cards. A card's cost in {{Cost}} is considered to be orthogonal to its cost in {{Cost|P}}, if it has one; there is no exchange rate between them. There are also several cards that can [[Cost reduction|reduce the costs]] of cards in {{Cost}}, though this cost can never go below {{Cost|0}}. |

[[Virtual coin|Many Actions]] also produce {{Cost}}; subcategories of these include [[terminal silver|terminal silvers]], [[Peddler variant|Peddler variants]], and [[disappearing money]]. {{Event|Borrow}}, an [[Event]] from [[Adventures]], can also produce {{Cost}}, at the price of card draw later. The only other possible source of {{Cost}} is [[Coin token|Coin tokens]], which are produced by certain Actions from [[Guilds]], and can be stockpiled for when they are most useful. |

However, certain cards from [[Guilds]] may be [[Overpay|overpaid]] for, allowing for {{Cost}} to be spent on other effects (although two of the overpay effects involve gaining cards). [[Adventures]] includes [[Event|Events]], which give players things to buy besides cards, including tokens that modify cards; Adventures also includes {{Card|Storyteller}}, which allows you to spend {{cost}} to draw cards. |
