If you’re anything like us, your spent a good chunk of your formative years huddled in front of a gaming console, guiding your favorite video game character around a screen to collect coins, rupees, gil, or rings. Whether you played an Atari, a NES, a Dreamcast, a Game Boy, or a Playstation, chances are that you spent hours collecting these currencies in hopes of getting a 1-UP or an upgraded sword.

Whatever your favorite game may have been, chances are we’ve covered it here. Only time will tell what items will be used as currency in the video games of the future, but we’ll always have a soft spot for the video games of our youth.
