What do the coins do?

Apparently, among the things you can transfer between Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, the near-worthless Coins are one of them. Do they do anything besides take up a spot in your inventory and can be sold for a whole one gold? (Selling money for money never made sense to me.)

for forging

If you give a coin to Jeorge after forging, you have access to a card shuffle to get a boost for the forged weapon in might, accuracy or crit or even multiple parameters or more coins. You can also get a blanket card. It doesn't matter which card you pick. The result will be always the same.

Huh. Guess I better save the coins I find for whenever I find a copy of RD.

I thought you were talking about FE10 since this topic is in its forum.

Also you won't have access to all the earned coins from FE9 until part 3, to be more precise the third map of part 3.

I was talking about FE10, sorry. Guess I should've made that clearer.

I don't know if this mechanic is in FE9 (if it was never intended to be in, then there's more evidence for an intended duology).

Also, I think when you're selling a coin, you're just dropping it in the pile with the other coins to be spent. As for why only some coins can be used for Forging... er...
