Coarse Money Creek is a stream in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska, in the United States.[1]
Prospectors claimed to have discovered gold in the creek and likely coined the name Coarse Money Creek.[2] The creek was recorded by the United States Geological Survey in 1916.[3] There appear to be numerous remains of human activity along the creek including lumber, tools, and a few cabins.[4]
