  be nice if you could use your coins for something. They are completely pointless. I’m close to 500k and there’s no use for them. Let’s do something about changing this please or just eliminate them. No use in being WGT rich when you can’t spend them lol

  So you can rent clubs on mobile.  What is the big deal there? So you can get into coin rooms. What is the big deal there? Coins need to have a value. Can you buy balls with them?  Can you purchase a level 101 putter? 

  The question is whether coins are pointless.  The answer is that, yes; they are pointless. They have no value so there is no reason to collect them, unlike credits, which have value.If coins could be traded for credits they would have value!

  Think of the fun in coin rooms where the winner picked up VALUABLE  coins. Think about the quitters who would give up valuable coins or never start rounds where they might lose coins. Coins need value!

  Very true. I have about 10 million and I'm considered "coin poor". One friend has over 300 million coins.  If you don't have close to or more than 100 million then you are dirt poor. 

  Trade them in for credits? What kind of exchange rate would WGT need to implement to make it work?

  WGT has already set a value on them, when WGT decided to sell them for credits.

  However, they determine their rate of return is a different subject. Just as they have determined the cost of a golf club for you to buy but the rate to return it is 25% of the value.  

  Maybe one day they will have a [coin for credit value] but until then, have fun collecting them and sharing them in the coin rooms
