+ | |Text=These cards are unchanged from day one. You could argue that the actions got tweaked to fit the treasures. The treasure pile sizes changed to match different estimates for the total set size, and ended up generous on all counts. In development the issue of the names for these came up - is it simpler if it's Copper Mine rather than Copper? In the end you can see that Copper won out. It just makes it a lot easier to name action cards if the treasures are treasures rather than mines. | ||

Gold is the most valuable of the three basic Treasure cards included in all games of Dominion. It provides when played. Gold is one of the main stopping points on the way to buying Provinces; maintaining a fairly high density of Gold in one's deck makes buying Provinces regularly relatively easy. Gold is the most important card in many Big Money strategies, and often plays an important role in engines as well—especially engines that make use of Action cards for +Cards and +Buy but not for +.

Cards that interact with Gold
Since Gold is a basic card, several other cards specifically name and interact with it. Typically such Kingdom cards give alternative ways of gaining Gold; but since Gold is quite valuable, these alternative modes of gaining it can be difficult to set up, or come with other penalties of their own.
