| The list of things that were all purchased for the same gold coin in John Wick or John Wick: Chapter 2: Two nights in an assassins-only hotel in New York The cover charge at a bar inside that hotel One night in an assassins-only hotel in Rome Two cocktails (tip included, presumably) Removal of one dead body and all evidence thereof A bespoke bulletproof suit. The coins buy a “courtesy” from those within The Continental Hotel/Assassins Guild. This whole irrational economy rests on two principles: All debts must be paid, and the ruling bodies have a monopoly on violence. |
| Copies range from krap on E-Bay for $12 to .999 fine gold. On the obverse, “Ex Unitae Vires,” meaning “Out of unity [comes] strength." |  |
