# What is Kingdom Gold?
Kingdom gold is the currency used in order to purchase new and unique items in the upgrades menu. It is also used to upgrade the amount of claims, members, and core health you can get in the Core Upgrades menu.

**One single kingdom gold is worth $100, and each kingdom gold can increase your worth by 3 per gold.** This means if you have 100 kingdom gold (with nothing else), you will have 300 worth.

## Purchasing Gold
You can purchase gold inside your core menu, then click the Gold menu. In this menu, you can purchase gold in several different increments.

!!!danger Be Careful!
Any other kingdom can steal your gold super quickly if they right click any one of your kingdom cores, including Interplanetary Cores! If they manage to destroy your core, all the gold you have will be transferred to the enemy kingdom!
