Cor

Col (コル) is the form of currency in the world of Sword Art Online. When players sell items to NPCs, the Col is listed under the market price, so as to not produce inflation. The valued currency of Sword Art Online is gathered swiftly from boss battles, as they yield a large amount of valuable loot, but the loot is usually shared among all participants of the boss battle. Other methods of acquiring col include killing monsters in dungeons or open fields, selling fruit that drop from trees (not a very efficient method, but it is favored by those who refuse to battle monsters), trading, Monster PK, and for orange guilds and players, ambushing other players and stealing their items and money in exchange for their lives.

Col can take the form of physical coins, known denominations include a silver coin worth 100 Col, a gold coin worth 500 Col , and a gold coin worth 100,000 Col. It is currently unknown how many types of coins exist in the game.

Because the value of 1 Col is based on the drop rate maintained by the Cardinal System which is kept constant at all times, neither inflation nor depreciation ever happen in Aincrad.
