Problem or Noob
There is gold, silver, and copper in this game. Your total funds are 10 silver + 25 copper.
100 copper = 1 silver
100 silver = 1 gold
What you sold to the vendor was sold for copper, not gold. I’d bet you got ~50 copper, and some of that combined with copper you already had and flipped to +1 silver.

Agree. Those are coppers on the screen, not gold. Gold is a very valuable commodity in Guild Wars 2, so selling off found items (component, ingredients, common drops) for 50 G would not happen.
Oh, and welcome to Guild Wars 2! I think you’ll love it.

In case neither of them made it clear, the reason you only have 25 copper showing now is because every 100 copper gets converted into 1 silver, which you now have 10 of there (and presumably 9 before selling).
