Number - The amount of money the player's character has, in copper.

Example

The following code prints the amount of gold, silver and copper the player's character currently has:

local copper = GetMoney()
print(("I have %dg %ds %dc"):format(copper / 100 / 100, (copper / 100) % 100, copper % 100));

Notes

• The player's wealth is not immediately available; wait until PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD before calling GetMoney().
• As of patch 2.4.2 you can use the GetCoinText(copper) function to convert raw copper values to readable text.
