So, according to this:

$1,000,000,000 is worth:
(Coin) X 1,966
You need to collect coins through level 6-fortress3

$1,500,000,000 is worth:
(Coin) X 2,948
You would need to play the game a bajillion times

I’m not sure how much I trust the math of people for whom 2 = a bajillion.

So that settles it .. Mario is a chocolate coin addicted diabetic, Bowser is a dealer and the princess was never the main goal.

Dude, I think you are totally onto something! What if they are those chocolate gold-foil-covered medallions you get during St. Patrick’s day?! :O

Mario is just a closet CHOCOHOLIC!

Hey, They never were called ‘Gold’ coins! they are merely ‘coins’ that are gold in color! The could be made of cheap, accessable ‘fools gold’ or polished bronze or something. Perhaps its like cheap jewelry that is lead dipped in gold. Never have I seen one cut in half and inspected for quality, perhaps they’re just made of very low purity gold.

Or maybe its a video game, and they’re worth absolutely nothing, and actually you lost money earning them because you could have been doing something productive.
