Cut all the Grass: Money Currency Guide

Quick answer

Chapter 2 gameplay footage shows money as a tracked currency in Cut all the Grass. The balance builds up across the run — it was already large by 84% chapter completion — and the footage never displays or names a second resource.

• Earn it: kicking the ball into the goal at the football (soccer) field pays money, and the player returns to the activity for more later in the same session.
• Spend it: money is saved toward a target purchase and then handed over when you buy.
• That's the whole picture the footage gives: no other currency, meter, or paid modifier appears, and no payout rates or resource exchanges are shown.

How money is earned

One demonstrated way to gain money is the football field activity. The player kicks the ball into the goal and gets paid for it — "Play some football. Getting in there. Boom. We got it. Oh yeah, we got money for it." Later in the same session they go back to the field and do it again, which makes this a repeatable money action rather than a one-time reward. What the clip shows is the payout happening, not the payout rate: no amount or formula appears, and nothing frames goals as the fastest or only way to earn. It's simply the earn method the chapter shows.

How money is spent

Money works as a save-up-and-buy currency. The player spells out the loop mid-run: "My dad told me to save up for this, but we're supposed to get this first. So, we're going to buy this now." Saving toward a goal and then purchasing is the demonstrated use of the currency. The transcript does not show prices, a shop interface, or what the purchased item does, and no exchange between resources is shown — so treat the buy loop as the demonstrated use of money, not a full catalog of what it can purchase.

What the footage leaves open

This overview comes from chapter 2 gameplay footage with player commentary, so the details above are observed from play rather than documented values. The clip shows money and nothing else on the resource side: no second currency, no payout amount, and no multiplier or paid-modifier behavior, and it never demonstrates an exchange between resources. It also doesn't support any ranking of what to farm or spend first, since money is the only resource it demonstrates. If an economy update lands, check in-game that the football field still pays for goals and that purchases still work the same way before relying on this page.
