In Warzone currently, you can pick up cash to use to buy streaks, armor, self-revive kits or to pick up eliminated teammates, and Sypher has explained exactly how it would work in Fortnite.

“Imagine you collect enough currency to buy shields or a launch pad,” he said. “For me, that just sounds really cool, and I think Epic might do something like that, because they’ve shown the gold currency in-game.”

He finished his point by saying that he thinks “a system like that would work really well,” adding that it may be the gold coins that were once added to the game were a hint at things to come.
