Apparently this coin contains more gold than a solid gold bar which is only worth 6 silver to vendors. It must weigh a ton and be huge considering a gold bar usually weighs 12.5 kg (London Good Delivery Bars which are traded internationally).
Now far be it from me to try to input reason to this game where certain pigs in a certain arid farming zone, I won't name which, often lack snouts, spleans, hearts and other organs. But still, come on Blizzard. A little consistency in gold value please. We all do love the goldz.

can this be thrown into that well helping you to fish gold coins for that achievement ?

It's kind of interesting that you get 1 gold each for these bad boys while you just get 1 silver 25 copper for the ones you get from the fountain in Dalaran... Maybe vendors like solid cash better than old coins, thrown in a fountain by famous people?

Ordinary paper is worth much less than paper money hence gold bars can be worth less than solid gold coins. With currency, the price has nothing to do with the inherent value of the materials from which it is made from it is the promise of the bearer the sum of the value of the currency presented.

Also, as many forums suggest, it is not that the pigs lack snouts, livers, hearts and other organs, the drop rate should be viewed as the probability that you are able to remove said parts without damaging them to the point that they are no longer saleable to a vendor. After all, you're an adventurer not a butcher!

Also it should always be remembered that this is actually a computer game and that if you have no problems with the magical items, portals to other worlds, the living dead etc then you shouldn't have issues with the value of a gold coin!

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to World of Warcraft, where the highest denomination of liquid currency is measured in gold coins.

Quite effective against beggars that go "Gold pls"

There ought to be a place to buy these. I want to convert my fortune of three thousand all in to these.

6,200-8,000 more of these and you can fly in Northrend!

5,000 for training
200 for mount or 1,800 for Swift Blue Wind Rider/Swift Snowy Gryphon
1,000 for cold weather flying=
6,200 or 8,000 if you want to spend more money for just a colored mount.

"here honey, go buy some more money." if anyone knows where that is from..

Tolki: HE didn't tell you that HE used HIS for toilet paper. And tissues.

And obviously you only get 1 gold for these becasue 1) They ARE regular gold coins and 2) Your character does not have enough intellgience to convince th evendor that it is a priceless artifact from forgotten civilizations long past. The int requirement to do this is expressed by this formula: your intelligence plus one.

Never done a fishing daily and this was in my inventory after I faction changed my character. Just thought this might be interesting to others :)

As the icon on Wowhead suggests, Solid Gold Coin(s) only stack to a max of 20.

Truth be told, the real reason these are worth so much is that they've got a chocolate center.

The owl on the coin, if you look closely, is the symbol of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and tactical warfare. Her sacred animal is the owl, which is usually stylized as seen on the coin. However, the owl is usually portrayed in art as Athena's companion, not a lone figure.

Комментарий от 150529

owls (in ancient Greece always) symbolised wisdom and knowledge. In a city were the residents are all mages/knowledge seekers, i don't find that strange.

Комментарий от ophid

Yeah it would be cool if you could buy these and stack them up in the bank. I don't know why, it just would be.

Комментарий от 345445

Never before have I seen such an accurate item name. This is solid. It's made out of gold. It's a coin. It's a Solid Gold Coin. What a beautiful symphony of words. Bravo, Blizzard, and my hat's off to you.

Комментарий от 493392

Blizzard should make this stack indefinately and buff it up to a green item instead of a gray. Then we can use these for money.

Комментарий от Willardfatman

So, I logged in today on one of my alts, sitting in Un'goro, and one of these just magically appeared in my bag.. alt does not even have fishing. >.< Any ideas?

Комментарий от 44207

As of 3.3.3 i suddenly have one of these in my inventory. My fishing skill is only 140ish and ive never fished in dalaran...

Anyone else getting this?

Комментарий от Willardfatman

Well after contacting a GM, It would appear that you will find them in your bags if you have faction transfered, and lost any faction Specific quest starting Items. There may be more reasons for receiving them, but this is the one i was given.

One such item is the Runed scroll http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10621

Worth it's weight in gold!

I'm not sure if I should be worried about the coin.. or the fact u faction changed at level 16 O.o

I have to admit, when I first saw this, my first thought was that Blizzard would make it vendor for about 50 silver and put flavor text on it to the effect of, "You'd think it'd be worth more..."

Комментарий от 607391

Knowing vendors (who buy anything you have for like 5x as low as you bought it) this coin is probably more like 5 gold...

If Chuck Norris has a Gold Coin, and you have a Gold Coin, Chuck Norris would have this Gold Coin.

What I meant was that this Gold Coin is worth 4 gold coins.. Duuh.. :p

Комментарий от 748840

Yep, I transferred one of my Blood Elves cross-faction with a Tainted Arcane Sliver and it changed into this.

Комментарий от 784446

This should be legenedary, or at least epic. Even rare would be nice...

Комментарий от tikki100

So basicly you trade in one of these gold coins, to get another gold coin?

I don't see the point... Hmm :/

Комментарий от SteeJans33

If you faction transfer from horde and still have on your character you will be given this item and have removed from your inventory. *NOTE* for those of you who like to hang on to removed items, like me, is NO LONGER OBTAINABLE
