Personally, met very few people that do like it, but to each it's own i guess. Pound for pound, gems are better. That bar of gold is roughly 105 carats of diamonds. 12.5 kg of gold vs 21 grams of diamonds (1 carat is 0.2 grams). So yeah, small bag of diamonds is better for large purchases.  Problem with art is that it's not that liquid and for best value you must find right collector. Sometimes, that can be fun side quest on it's own. Just not very often. Big thing with gold is that it's highly liquid and gold being soft metal, you can brake gold jewelry or coins to smaller bits for lesser purchases. Something you can't do with diamonds. So few gold coins for daily purchases and gems for larger ones.  Totally agree with you. In 5e, once your heavy armor users get to that full plate, there is little use for more money. In older editions, we hoarded money like crazy for buying magic items. With magic item sales gone, there isn't much you can buy past mundane stuff to make your character better at their job. That's cool. Sometimes that stuff works. In the end, rewards are for players. If they get something they want for their characters, it gives them sense of accomplishment. No, pat on the back and "Good work old chap." isn't reward <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
