New inventory Item - The Gold Coin

@blazedrake100 Yeah I think it would be fun.
I'd probably use it when I solo sloop to quickly decide on what I'm going to do next; "Heads I'm going for the fort, Tails I'm going to bed"

You could unlock some cool cosmetics for it too.

• A skull one side, cross bones the other
• Krakens head & tentacles
• Cutlass & crossed pistols
• Fishing rod & crossed Splashtails
• You could get coins with a red Devils Road glow or the green legends glow

It's primary use would make your pirate do a coin toss and come up either Heads or Tails. The secondary use would make your pirate show the result to others.

I would love to have this in addition to the other freeform ideas I have for cards/dice. This would be a brilliant addition imo

Every now and again, your pirate could even accidently drop it and it would cost 1 gold piece just for fun.

I don't like this part though. It just sounds irritating to randomly lose something for no reason but the RNG said so, even if it's essentially worthless

@ambiguousmonk Good point, scrap the losing it bit.
Would you still have access to the gold coin inventory item if you'd spent all your gold? The likelihood of this happening is really slim but I guess it could happen and when it does, for continuity reasons, you should loose the ability to flip a coin.

@guybrush3pwood2
I don't know about that. I'd just like to see a coin added as a radial item that anyone, anywhere can take out and flip. That way, you can open it up to a whole slew of cosmetic skins like all the other tools.

@guybrush3pwood2 aye another nice idea mate

I wonder what the starter coin would look like. perhaps it could just be a thin piece of rusty copper.
Like the other cosmetics you could unlock various looks through the different trades.

• I'd say Merchant could be things like a banana on one side, a monkey on the other
• Order of souls (because tossing a coin is all about fate and they're into all that) could have a glowing blue tinge and have arcane symbols
• Seadogs could all be about guns and weapons
  and the stuff you could buy at the accessory store would be your normal pirate stuff, skull and cross bones etc.
• Gold hoarders.... mmm perhaps leave them out.

Or only two of the trades could give you cosmetics. I think the whole "leaving a decision to the toss of a coin" would fit in nicely with the SOT feel.

This is it, chief. Forsaken Ashes coin with glowing edges. Bilge Rat coin that's chipped and bent. Yeah. This is the stuff.

gold hoarders i want a coin from them!

Never would have thought about this! Now that u mentioned.... I love the idea!! haha
Yeeehaa!

@closinghare208 perhaps they could have a key on one side and a chest on the other. Their coins couod get more and more shiny and thick. Their coins could be the only really bright gold ones in the game.
