Since this is called Gold in Smash 4, I think the title should be adjusted accordingly. The article would have to be restructured a little, but I feel this is necessary anyway. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 09:02, 13 February 2015 (EST) | Since this is called Gold in Smash 4, I think the title should be adjusted accordingly.

Is "(lottery)", a Melee-specific term, the best disambiguation to have for this? Is there an alternative that covers both Melee and Brawl? - Reboot (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2011 (EST)
- This may be bumping an old topic, but it's relevant. I'm thinking maybe Coins (Collectibles), or if we're to follow the Manual of Style accurately, Coin (Collectible). Coins are typically grouped though, like Hit points, so it's controversial. Toast

Collectable to collectible
Before I looked it up, I didn't actually know collectable is an actual word. However, I still feel that the title of this article should be changed from Gold (collectable) to Gold (collectible). My reasoning is as follows:
- Collectible is used to describe objects which have an intrinsic value, whether monetary, historic, or otherwise, and thus warrant collecting, such as coins, paintings, stamps, Magic the Gathering cards, etc., while collectable is used to describe any object which can be collected, such as donations, car payments, candy wrappers, etc. Between the two, collectible is the more accurate term for this page, as the coins and gold attained in the games arguably have intrinsic value.
- Collectible is generally the more well-known term, per Google Ngrams.
That's my two cents (ha ha). Thoughts? -- Her Majesty, Queen Junko, 20:45, 10 June 2017 (EDT)
