Items such as the leather bracer have not been loading their textures... Really painful to the eyes... The iron shield is another item with this issue... It must be said, however, that when the game is working as intended, the clarity in which some of the items are rendered is very impressive... why not all of them???!!! Fix please...

My gold looks like crap and is unreadable! I went out and rented it on xbox to see if the textures looked as bad. I was blown away by the detail on the gold and other items that look like utter CRAP on ps3

I think my septims have been alright personally :/
Seems like a subjective issue...

How do you even look at your gold?

When you're looting/pickpocketing yours is under misc. Or if the container/person has gold you can examine it.
