In TrackMania United Forever, Coppers are the user currency, and can be used to purchase from ManiaLink shops, send mail/gifts, purchase Tags, change your Zone, download maps from My Campaign, and attempt Official Times.

Miscellaneous

A couple of exploits to gain Coppers have been performed over the years, most famously Laiteux who reportedly exploited the game to obtain the integer limit worth of Coppers, although not much more about this is known. Selling coppers for real money has often been frowned upon however it is still possible using external websites.

Certain Servers have the ability to gamble using plugins with rudimentary versions of card-games such as Texas hold-em. and Black Jack.
