Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Game Master Aight. How do you create/manage gold?

My workaround for this is close to what you described. At the beginning of a campaign, I create piles of gold, loot it and delete the piles of gold. Then I duplicate the gold several times in my GM inventory et voilà - got more than enough gold in my inventory of which I can create small stacks by splitting it into stacks of a chosen value.
