Galleons

Galleons (sometimes called Gold-Galleons) are the most valuable coins of the wizarding currency. One Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles or 493 Knuts, and despite being made of gold, Galleons are roughly equivalent to £5 GBP ($10 USD). One house point is gained for each Galleon collected in Pottermore. Once you run out of Galleons you cannot get anymore on your own account. You can always buy ingredients via other accounts.
