Started the game, got gold.
They added daily log in rewards. You probably got gold from one of those pre-planned rewards.
Welcome back.
Those coins you got are actually Mystic Coins, they are used in some Mystic Forge recipes.
Basically they are a crafting component.
And they’re not eggsactly gold coins, they’re Mystic coins.

Edit: Ah, I was too slow.
I think you didn’t receive a gold coin but rather a mystic one.
See http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Coin for all usage you can do. Basically they are used in mystic forge recipes to craft objects.
The daily reward chest is a new feature which grant you the rewards of the former dailies and monthlies (save achievement points) when you log in over a time period of 28 days.
Have fun with your comeback
welcome back
during the time you played you had to do 5 daily achievements. you would get 5x small exp amount +5 achievement points 1 laurel and a single mystic coin (used in the mystic forge)
now you get daily rewards by simply loging in. you get various things as well as laurels and mystic coins.
as for achievements you need to do only 3 daily achievements that will reward you with 10 points, + various rewards depending on what achivements you decided to do (pve achievements give you pve rewards,pvp ach =pvp rewards, wvw ach= wvw rewards)
PS: you missed out on a lot of content, story, and rewards. You missed the whole season 1 of living story, and the last finale of season 2 was recently added.
You cant play season 1 anymore (tho they mentioned it they might add it again later in the game..when..nobody knows ) and if you wish to go trough teh season 2 story youll need to unlock them by paying 200gems for each episode.
Normally you unlock them for free if you log in when they are released…
so yeah..frequently loging in the game gives rewards and unlocks living story.
Also, gw2 expansion pack has been officially announced a few days ago, it will be available in boxed eddition as well as a digital one. No news on the release date

Sounds like you got the Mystic Coin bag. You used to get one each day for completing the daily achievement, now they come in lumps as a reward for clicking “Log in”.
Unfortunately, they’re not worth very much, and are only useful when throwing things into the mystic forge.

Now that we get less coins in a 28 day period, the TP price is almost 4 times what it used to be a couple moths ago…
So they are not that whorthless, if you sell a stack you make a decent amount of gold.
If by “1 day and 2 day” you’re saying you received 2 gold (currency) over the course of two days, then I know what happened.
Achievement rewards were added and you may be retroactively receiving your rewards for that.
You will recieve 1 reward per day until you reach your current Achievement Points (rewards are given for every 500.)
OTHERWISE, what everyone else is saying is correct and you got mystic coins.

Aaaaahhhh, yes, I forgot that they limited those to once a day during the catch up phase. kitten , you have been gone a while, OP! :P
Hi guys,
Thx for the cool replies, I checked ingame and yeah it’s 2 gold coins, not mystical coins.
So with that I believe DarkWasp is correct since I know nothing about it lol.
This should fill you in:

You’ll keep getting a chest every day until the rewards catch up with your current achievement points. Enjoy
