Gold Coin

A Gold Coin is the standard currency of the game Sugar Rush. They are earned by racers who win races either during arcade hours or during the nightly race to determine the next day's avatars. Apparently the Random Roster race, and presumably others, are pay to play. i.e. in order to race you have to pay one gold coin to be allowed to race. Vanellope, having none of her own gets around this when she discovers Ralph's hero's medal, and thinking it a gold coin uses it to buy her way in.
