'''Bear coins''' (also spelled '''Bear Koins''')<ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #51|page=21 and 24|date=December 1996}}</ref> are silver [[coin]]s with an imprint of a bear. They appear in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' as the currency of the [[Northern Kremisphere]], and are the successor to the [[Banana Coin]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
Bear coins are items in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] use them to purchase various items at some of the [[Brothers Bear]] cabins, namely [[Bazaar's General Store]], and to play at [[Swanky's Sideshow]], which costs two bear coins to play each time. Bear coins appear in every [[level]], often in hidden or higher areas. Some bear coins are invisible until the [[Kong]]s collect them. If either Dixie and Kiddy exit from a [[Bonus Level]] or restart the level, the bear coins return where they originally appeared. The Kongs can only carry up to 99 bear coins. If the Kongs defeat a boss in subsequent rematches, they win bear coins instead of a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]. Whenever the player saves the game, the total number of bear coins is also saved.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], [[Swanky Kong]] charges two bear coins whenever Dixie plays the [[Swanky's Dash]] minigame, just like with Swanky's Sideshow. At [[Cranky's Dojo]], it costs one bear coin to play [[Cranky Kong]]'s minigame at first, but subsequent plays cost two bear coins.

===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
Bear coins are items in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are used at the [[Sheepy Shop]] to buy a [[Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)|Bear]]'s services or to play the [[cards]] game. Besides this, bear coins otherwise have the same purpose as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''
