Players in role-playing games often expect to receive large amounts of coin as rewards for defeating monsters. And while Unbound Tales does include some provision for monetary rewards, this is not a game that makes it easy to spend one's way into power. Therefore, monetary rewards tend to be storyline rewards, rather than combat rewards, and are not as large as players might expect.

For every Milestone earned by a party, that party should also receive about 20 silver pennies, multiplied by their level. However, very little of this will be monster loot. Instead, much of it will end up being found hoards, rewards granted by quest-givers, or bounties on certain types of pest monsters.

Contrary to popular fiction and the expectations of role-players, the majority of monsters will not have sacks of coins lying around their lair. However, they might well have items which can be converted into coins.
