Roll a gold counter up to the new total without a slow crawl at the end
When loot lands, the number should run up smoothly, and a second pickup in the middle must carry on instead of restarting. A plain smooth slide makes the last few coins take forever to arrive. This shows how to make it land cleanly every time.
Why this works
A smooth glide never quite arrives, because it slows in proportion to what is left. Adding a lowest speed means the last few coins still count at a pace people can follow, and the number ends exactly where it should.
When not to use it
Not when the exact amount must be read at once, like a price check or a score that decides a win. A rolling number is a show that lags the truth, so display the real value first and roll only for reward moments.
