Cor

Cor (コル) is the form of currency in the world of Sword Art Online.

Methods of Acquiring
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 Cor 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.

Appearance and Denominations
Cor can take the form of physical coins. Known denominations include a silver coin worth 100 Cor, a 250 Cor coin of unknown colour, a gold coin worth 500 Cor, and a gold coin worth 1000 Cor. It is currently unknown how many types of coins exist in the game.

Inflation
Because the value of one Cor is based on the drop rate maintained by the Cardinal System which is kept constant at all times, neither inflation nor depreciation ever occur in Aincrad. To ensure that the value of Cor is maintained, items are sold to Non-Player Characters (NPCs) at fixed market prices.
