About the Coin Converter
This free D&D 5e coin converter and calculator adds or subtracts two piles of coins and returns the total rolled up into its highest denomination. Enter any mix of copper, silver, electrum, gold, and platinum in each row, pick Add or Subtract, and the tool does the exchange-rate math so you do not have to convert 5e currency by hand at the table.
It covers all five denominations of the standard 5e coin economy, and the result is broken back out per coin type so you can hand a player their new balance as platinum, gold, electrum, silver, and copper. Every result also shows its weight in pounds and can be split evenly among the party in one step, so settling a treasure hoard or a shop purchase does not need a separate calculator.
Tips for Using the Coin Converter
- Remember the 5e exchange rates the tool applies: 10 copper to a silver, 5 silver to an electrum, 2 electrum to a gold, and 10 gold to a platinum. The calculator keeps them straight so a stack of copper collapses cleanly into gold.
- Use the top row for the current balance and the bottom row for the change, then Subtract to spend or Add to collect; the result is the new total for the party purse.
- Electrum is optional at many tables. If yours ignores it, just leave those fields blank and the math still balances across the other four coins.
- Enter your party size under the result to split it evenly; any remainder that will not divide cleanly is called out separately so nobody has to argue over an odd copper piece.
- Check the weight line under the result before a long trek. At 50 coins to the pound, a hoard heavy enough to matter for encumbrance shows up immediately.
- Pin a running total to your Session Notebook so the party treasury carries from one encounter to the next without re-entering coins.

Common Questions
- Is this coin converter free?
- Yes. Every tool on Tools and Taverns is free, with no account, signup, or generation limit.
- How much is 1 platinum in gold in 5e?
- One platinum piece is worth 10 gold pieces, so 100 gp converts to 10 pp. One platinum is worth 10 gold, one gold is worth 2 electrum or 10 silver, one electrum is worth 5 silver, and one silver is worth 10 copper. The calculator applies these rates automatically when it totals your coins.
- What does "highest denomination" mean in the result?
- The tool rolls your total up as far as it will go, so 250 copper becomes 2 gold and 5 silver rather than a heap of coppers. Each denomination is still shown separately in case you want the exact coin breakdown.
- Can I subtract coins to record a purchase?
- Yes. Put the current balance in the first row and the cost in the second, then press Subtract. The result is what remains after the party pays, converted back into whole coins.
- Does it handle electrum pieces?
- Yes. Electrum is one of the five denominations the calculator supports. If your table skips electrum, leave those fields empty and the totals stay correct across the remaining coins.
- How much do D&D 5e coins weigh?
- Fifty coins of any denomination weigh one pound, per the SRD 5.2.1 "Coins" rule. The calculator totals your coins and shows that weight automatically under every result.
- Can it split loot evenly among the party?
- Yes. Enter a party size under the result and the calculator divides the total by value, then rolls each member's share back up into whole coins. Any amount that will not divide evenly is shown separately as leftover.
