It opens up for players to spend gold for roleplaying purposes and for me as DM to create plot goldsinks, as it should be. In my current campaign I have a dwarf noble wizard who spend every copper on buying scrolls, decorating his armor and buying fancy representative clothes, a paladin who is building an orphanage and funding a bard academy project to spread words of hope across the lands, a pregnant Goliath barbarian who is building a safe home away from the frozen tundra and setting up funds for her child, etc etc.And one of the goals in the current plot arch is to actually build a spelljammer ship (when the lazy players finally find a working helm).So for me gold in 5e is just fine.</blockquote>
