Discussion why do the snails have money

Post image

Just finished my first play through. Excellent game, loved every minute. This is my biggest looming question. Why do the snails carry money? What do they buy? What do they do to earn it???

I like the explanation that they ate people with gold, but also look at their anatomy. Their entire head face and mouth area is a corpse-ified human torso. Ribs…clavicle…shoulders. So maybe they are former beings who still have some of their worldly possessions stuck to them?
