Gold is the main currency in Summoner's Greed, and is used to purchase offers from the Seller, upgrade most Player Skills, and level up monsters to level 400. There are a few ways to earn gold, but most of them are unavailable on Challenge Maps.
- Defeating enemies: On Classic Maps, enemy Grunts drop 1 gold, Warriors drop 2 gold, Ragefist Berserkers(who are classified as Heroes, but appear like normal enemies) drop 3 gold, and all other Heroes drop 100 gold. This method is affected by Epic Coin Digger, as well as Monitor coin drop multipliers. Depending on the combination of these, and whether the player has purchased double ad bonuses in the Shop, the number coins dropped by enemies will be 2 times, 4 times, or even 8 times the normal amount.
- Summoning Duplicate Monsters: If the player uses the Summoner's Portal, and receives a monster that they already have 3 gold stars on, then they will be given some gold instead, so that the orbs or gems spent are not entirely wasted. Common monsters give 1,000 gold per duplicate, Rare monsters grant 2,000 gold, and Epic monsters refund 3,000 gold, Legendary monsters refund 4,000 gold. Since the Seller can offer up to 10 Summoning Orbs at a time, for a cost of 10 gold each, the cost of each "Common to Legendary" summon is effectively 100 gold, with a guarantee of either a monster without max stars, or a profit of at least 900 gold. Since "Epic to Legendary" summons cost 60 gems, and the Seller offers gems at 30 gold each, the cost of each "Epic to Legendary" is effectively 1,800 gold, with a guarantee of either a monster without max stars, or a profit of at least 1,200 gold.
- AFK gold: Accumulates for up to 24 hours of offline time, based on the highest level monster currently summoned. With a level 500 monster on the field, a maximum of 432,000 gold is awarded when opening the game, collectible by tapping the coin that appears above their chest to open an interface, where player's are offered the chance to watch an ad to double their earnings. If an ad is unavailable when they open the interface, they may close said interface and re-open it until an ad is available. If the player does not wish to watch an ad, simply select "Collect". This method is the only way to earn gold while on a Challenge Map.
- PvP Shop: Gold is one of the possible offerings from the newly added PvP Shop. However, doing so is considered a waste of PvP Shop Coins.
