Banana Coins are items in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. They were redesigned to only depict a single banana instead of a Banana Bunch. Their main purpose is for purchasing various items at [[Cranky Kong's Shop]]. Banana Coins are scattered throughout every level. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can collect up to 999 Banana Coins.

The Kongs can also obtain Banana Coins by jumping on three to seven enemies in succession (enemies from the eighth onward give [[Extra Life Balloon|Red Balloons]] instead), or as a prize from the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].

In some cases, a Banana Coin is part of a group of bananas where collecting all of the items in that group causes an item to appear.
[[Five Monkey Trial]] uses Banana Coins as a key part of progression. In order to end each section, and have the [[Barrel Cannon]] to the next section appear, the player has to collect every Banana Coin in the section. This also defeats all enemies in the section. As the name of the level suggests, there are five sections of the level that have this ruleset.
