Drawing and playing this card takes two actions, yet rewards you with
three actions for only a one turn wait. If you're playing with Draco Slytherin
at the helm, you're gaining a whopping two actions for each use. This card
can bring a game to a fast conclusion, as 5 actions should be more than
enough to play out all the elements of a combo in one turn. Heck, this card
doesn't even need to be associated with a combo. Imagine how much spell
damage you could inflict with 10 lessons out in a quidditch/charms deck! A
Loop the Loops can get you the cards to smack your opponent with one
turn of heavy burn that will leave them a crispy cinder. My problem with the
Galleon is its very high lesson cost to play. Ten lessons means you will have to
devote much of your deck to accelerate the learning in support of your heavy
cards. And if you have cards that play at that lesson level, are you going to
really need to send out 5 in one turn? Wouldn't two heavy hitting spells usually
be enough? I feel this card is an excess of riches, and I almost universally
trend towards using the cheaper and speedier Sickle instead. Nobody wants
to stand around waiting to break a big bill, when they have cash in their pocket
that they want to spend right now.

This card is too expensive. Sickle is a MUCH better choice. You gain two
actions for 10C, but for the actions you used trying to get that high, you
may lose about 5 actions in the end. So, this card, in my opinion, is not
that good. Only in Philosopher Stone decks. =/

The biggest and baddest money card on the market. What I found is a knut
costs 1C and you get 1 action, a sickle costs 7C and you get two actions, a
Galleon costs 10C and you get 3 actions. Why the big jump from 1 to 2?
They should have been more proportioned, but thats just me. Now the Galleon
is nice, you get 3 more actions next turn, possible 4 if you use Draco
Malfoy, 5 if you play a Self-Stirring Cauldron ;) But what are you going to
do with all those actions, I'll tell you combo combo combo. Beat down your
opponent to no end, and then play a Golden snitch. Thats not cool you say,
well my friend I never said I was going to be nice. The Galleon can be a
big hitter, but I think for 7C, a Sickle will be able to provide you with
all the extra actions you might need.

Everyone can use extra actions, but are you willing to risk it all in one item? Personally,
I prefur smaller bills, like 5 20s instead of 1 100. ;') Works great with Wand Shop, as most
people can reach 5 Charms easily.

Five extra actions a turn!?!?!?!? Man!!!! who doesn't want that? Now the
question is what do you do with those actions? If you get this many
actions, you should be able to put your opponent away especially by the time
you get up to ten. There are just so many possibilities you could pull off
that i don't even want to think about them. Hannah Abbot would be a great
character to have out at this point because you could get your killer cards
for your killer turn. Over all I can't think of anything bad to say about
this card. So I guess that means it gets the top rating heh.

The =ONLY= time this card is going to work is in a Draco Malfoy, Slytherin
deck. Even then, I don't suggest it, because it costs ten, and with Draco,
that's really hard to get to before you opponent has the game won. Even
though it may look good at the first glance, this card is kinda useless.
Just a waste of space in your deck. ;)
