Gold is widely accepted as a currency in Olympia. Its scarcity lends gold a high value, but it is not so rare that it cannot be used in the everyday exchange of goods. It has a high value, but weighs little, and thus is easy to carry. Gold is also readily assayable to guarantee its value.

The character must be in a mine shaft to USE 9564. The quantity of gold obtained will vary with the depth of the shaft, and whether or not the supply of gold at that level has been mined out.

If [days] is not specified, the character will mine for 7 days.
