Hi all. I've been playing Township for a little bit now and I feel like I'm missing something with what coins are used for. But this is just based on some other games I've played. Maybe this is the design of the game.

Tcash is like a super precious commodity for me but I don't even think about the coins. I feel like I'm always waiting for Tcash and / or products to help me advance the game but I always have plenty of coins.

For a while I was wondering what to do with copper and silver ingots because I had so many of them that I was just constantly selling them as soon as I got them to free up barn space. (Which also generated more coins). Occasionally they would be in a helicopter or train request but not that often. But then I made it to the level where you can build the building (I forget the name) that updates your factories and whatnot using ingots and it makes sense now.

So am I missing something? Am I playing wrong? Once I level up to a certain level will coins have more of a purpose?

When I Googled it, I wasn't sure. I will say I also haven't really kept track of the experience stars too much as they seemed to naturally flow and I never couldn't do something directly from a lack of experience. But based on what I found Googling, it seemed like maybe there was a setting where you could pick coins over experience and I was wondering if that was the problem? Like how I play I should pick a different option. But also it seemed like, at least to some people, that coins were the goal itself (in essence kind of like "points") rather a currency. You just happen to need coins (points) to do certain things. If this is the case it makes sense, and I'll change how I view coins, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks in advance!

I ask because I read that German tends to use compound words instead of breaking the words apart.

It is common at my work to shorten many multiple word terms into acronyms to save space when writing. While it is most commonly done with names and proper nouns in which case I'm guessing German is similar, it's also pretty common in my line of work (LOW) to write out non name / proper noun multiword term the first time it's used and then put the acronym in parentheses after and then just use the acronym for the rest of the document or section of writing.

When writing in German do people use acronyms the same way / as often as in English? And if so, do they just treat the components of compound words as individual words? To give an example even if Germans write "lineofwork" instead of "line of work" they still use acronyms and write "lineofwork (LOW)".
