Rusty coins are the currency used in Dungeoneering and were introduced to the game with the money pouch update on 6 December 2011, replacing the normal coins previously used in Daemonheim to make the difference between Daemonheim coins and normal coins more clear.
The only use coins have in Daemonheim is to buy items from the Smuggler. You can ask about them from the Smuggler, he says: "Oh, they're nothing. You can give them all to me, if you want.", and the player refuses.
Trivia
- Gold cannot actually rust; only oxidise. In order to rust, a compound would have to contain iron elements. Therefore, as stated in the FAQ for the update which released them, the coins in Daemonheim are not composed of gold, but rather of a material similar to novite (or novite itself).
- Gold actually CAN rust. Oxidation is the proper term for rust. The rust we all see on iron is the same oxidation as you'd see on gold. Perhaps it looks different, but chemically the same concept of hydroxyl groups binding to the molecules in question.
- The examine, which is "They make the world go round" is a reference to the common idiom used in the real world, "Money makes the world go round".
- Along with the update on 16 January 2012, they have changed to a bright orange colour, as the previous grey colour was not visible on some floors.
