Honestly I always felt kinda awkward after getting one, knowing somebody paid real money for a stupid icon. What a waste. Good riddance, I say.
I don't understand why people frequently say this. While it's true you can pay money for them, I've never spent a dime on reddit and have given out over 50 golds and have enough coins to give out a half dozen more. I don't know what the mechanics are for earning the coins I have, all I can say is I haven't paid for any of them yet I do have them, so it's not true that when someone gives an award it was paid for with real money.
If you had Alien Blue, you got a shitload when Reddit bought it. That’s where I got mine and also never spent a dime on Reddit.
