Currently '''Gold''' is your primary currency in the world of [[IVAN]]. It is used exclusively to purchase [[items|goods]] and services from [[:Category:Shops|shopkeepers]] and specialists. The only reliable way to gain gold is by selling items to shopkeepers. Shopkeepers also have a limited amount of gold to give, so technically there is only a finite amount of gold to be had. Another way to generate more gold in the game than is available from all the shopkeepers is to beat [[Huang Ming Pong]] the sumo wrestler in his sumo arena, after which [[Richel Decos]] will provide you with a [[Shirt of Decos Banana Co.|shirt advertising his banana company]]. Sufficient time spent wearing this shirt will earn you money from Richel Decos, but the amount is so rather small that it is largely not worth the hassle. Finally, a [[Wands|wand of alchemy]] can be used to transform any item into its price in gold.
