A '''Coin''' (Japanese: '''コイン''' ''Coin'') is a type of [[currency]] used at [[Game Corner]]s in the [[core series]] games.

==In the core series games==
Coins are used to play the games available at the various [[Game Corner]]s around the [[Pokémon world]]. They can also be exchanged for prizes, including rare [[item]]s, [[TM]]s, and even {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Coins cannot be obtained until the {{player}} has a [[Coin Case]] in their [[Bag]].

Coins can be bought in amounts of 50 for {{PDollar}}1000 or, starting in [[Generation II]], in increments of 500 for {{PDollar}}10000. They can also be found in {{DL|Slot machine|European Platinum|game machines}} in the European versions of {{v2|Platinum}} and Korean versions of the {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. The player cannot buy Coins in the Korean and western releases of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Dropped Coins can be found on the floor of the Game Corner in certain games and can be collected by the {{player}}. In most cases, dozens of Coins are found just by searching the floor. Using the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] can help with locating these Coins. Several people may give the player free Coins, normally ten or twenty at a time. This is useful if the player wishes to start playing without having to buy any Coins.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!===
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], the player can use Coins at the [[Game Center]].

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', {{adv|Blue}} was seen having won a big pile of Coins at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]], all of which he exchanged for a {{TP|Blue|Porygon}}.

===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]'', {{adv|Platinum}} won over 1000 Coins at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. {{adv|Diamond}} later exchanged the Coins for a [[Zoom Lens]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In ''[[DPAS2|Deoxys, The Phantom Pokémon! (Part 2)]]'', [[Hareta]] was seen winning a lot of Coins at the Veilstone Game Corner, while [[Mitsumi]] failed to win anything.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Generation I]] games, Coins are stored as [[List of unobtainable items|individual items]] (index number 59, hex: 3B) in the game. It may be of note that when forced into a [[Poké Mart]], they are available for purchase at the price of {{pdollar}}10 per Coin. This is half the price of Coins in the final versions of the games. When forced as items, Coins cannot be used by the player, nor can they be stored back into a Coin Case.
