About Silver Coin
- Each of these silver coins bares the name of the person that had thrown the coin into Dalaran's fountain. Most of these people are famous citizens of Azeroth. Each coin's description reveals what they were thinking at the time. These silver coins are items, and cannot be used as money. However you can sell them to a vendor for considerably more than their face value.

Catching Silver Coin
- Commentary: If you study the history of Azeroth, you may find the wishes on these coins particularly interesting. Here are a few of my favourite wishes: "How does this fountain even work? I wonder if I could make one." - High Tinker Mekkatorque. "I hope that my father and brothers outlive me. I'll not make much of a king." - Prince Magni Bronzebeard. "Where's Illidan?" - Maiev Shadowsong.

- [1] Lucky buff increases catch rate
With the Lucky buff (gained by throwing a Gold Coin back into the fountain - see Dalaran Fishing), the catch rate of coins approximately doubles, and the catches of other items are reduced by a third.

jbhbrook, February 2010:
Just wondering if you have to keep all the coins until you get the achievement or if you can vendor them prior to completion?
Garroch, February 2010:
You can vendor them. Just don't vendor the gold ones! The buff is worth it!
Runne, February 2010:
Nah, sell them all you want. Keep the Gold ones for the buff and use them when it's down. It's a big help in pulling out the higher coins. The Achievement keeps up with them as you get them.
SaltyBlood, February 2010:
