There are some cheats to obtain a lot of gold ore without mining it but after some thought I have the solution to avoid this from now on, its about time to introduce coins to the game. Just like in real life they could be made of valuable metals such as gold and silver and you can get coins either by forging them or by selling items and ores. Also, if coins are added, why not add a bank as well?

Great idea, there really should be a imperial bank
