Banana Coins, referred to as "'''[[Kong]] Family Coins'''" in [[Kong Kollege]], are items in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are scattered throughout each level. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] use them to pay for services offered by the Kong family: use of [[Funky Kong]]'s [[Biplane Barrel]] at [[Funky's Flights II]], obtain advice from [[Cranky Kong]] at [[Monkey Museum]], saving the game and receiving advice from [[Wrinkly Kong]] at [[Kong Kollege]], and playing [[Swanky Kong]]'s quizzes at [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]]. The Kongs can carry up to 99 Banana Coins at a time. Additionally, the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] allows the [[Kong]]s to fight a boss again by paying ten Banana Coins to Swanky, and Wrinkly no longer offers to save the Kongs' progress for a fee since save functionality was integrated into the world map's menu.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the [[Kong]]s can get into a rematch with a boss by paying ten Banana Coins to Swanky. Additionally, Wrinkly no longer offers to save the game because the world map's start menu already has this feature.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Banana Bunch Coins are scattered throughout every level. They appear in five colors, each corresponding to a Kong: yellow ones can only be collected by [[Donkey Kong]], red ones by [[Diddy Kong]], blue ones by [[Lanky Kong]], purple ones by [[Tiny Kong]] and green ones by [[Chunky Kong]]. Numerous Banana Bunch Coins were scattered throughout the levels of the game for the Kongs to seek out. Banana Bunch Coins are required for purchasing weapons from [[Funky Kong]], moves and abilities from [[Cranky Kong]], and musical instruments from [[Candy Kong]].
 
A unique type of Banana Bunch Coin, known as [[5-Banana Coin]]s are also featured in the game, hidden under [[DK Dirt Pile]]s. These coins are larger than normal ones, and add five Banana Bunch Coins to each Kong's total, equaling 25 in total. There is a maximum number of Banana Bunch Coins for each Kong to collect:
{{br|left}}
*Donkey: 179
*Diddy: 183
*Lanky: 190
*Tiny: 198
*Chunky: 224
Every Kong spends 21 Banana Bunch Coins on personal upgrades, Donkey Kong spends an extra 2 to replay the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game, and a total of 53 are used for shared upgrades. There are 974 Banana Bunch Coins in total. After all coins possible are spent, the Kongs will have a remaining 814 Banana Bunch Coins among themselves if all coins are collected.
 
The Mystery mode has an unlockable cheat allowing the player to have 999 Banana Bunch Coins; this cheat can be unlocked by collecting twenty Banana Fairies.
