A PoE sink is the term given to any part of the game that decreases the amount of PoE (Pieces of Eight) in the ocean's economy, rather than having them pass from one player to another.

Without PoE sinks, the economy would experience a significant amount of inflation as time goes by. Without effective ways of reducing the number of Pieces of Eight, with PoE fountains increasing the amount of currency running around in the system, the value of the PoE would decrease.

PoE sinks should not be confused with commodity sinks - a hat that decays does not decrease the amount of PoE in the game except indirectly through taxes, if a replacement is bought.

Some examples of PoE sinks:
