well to be fair we'd be a lot more into space exploration because

A. lots of people would require expansion
and B. less concern over being permanently dead because of space mistakes etc.

well what counts as a coin anyway
is it literally any coin ever? if so someone could just make a butt ton of their own and be set. or is it like, specifically, for instance, the coins printed by the united states treasury?

100 dollars seems pretty little for a new life
but if that was the case everything would likely be way more expensive anyway

[TeeOS]

loansharking would be a literally life or death business practice
if you think loansharks, drug dealers, and gang leaders want their money now, imagine how much more they want it when their life depends on it

if you go into debt you cant pay back then you die
student loans and credit cards become abandoned and poverty/unemployment rates go down as well given that most of them died

[Refticus]

health and safety at work will be nonexistent, as you would never be able to die with a stable income

[Donnies Catch]

if we ignore that the world would be like overpopulated, and pretend itll be like right now. and having it exactly like in mario meaning every 100 coins you get a free life.

if it was exclusively my money from age 0 to now (18) then i think id have roughly minimally 200 lives.
id probably live more recklessly, id probably be into parkour or something, and i would get a faster motorcycle and go to germany for the non-speed limit roads.

id also probably try to see if i can learn how to stunt pilot.
