'''Coins''' are [[List of items|items]] in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. They can be obtained in a number of ways, such as by defeating [[:Category:Wario Land 4 enemies|enemies]], destroying [[block]]s, and opening boxes. Four different kinds of coins can be found in the game. '''Small Coins'''<ref name=WarioLand4/> and '''Bronze Coins'''<ref name=WarioLand4/> can be obtained by defeating minor enemies and breaking blocks. Bronze Coins can be obtained when [[Chomp ball]]s are thrown into [[pinball tulip]]s in [[Pinball Zone]]. '''Silver Coins'''<ref name=WarioLand4/> can be obtained by defeating powerful enemies. If [[Wario]] hits the [[Button (Wario Land 4)|buttons]] in [[Domino Row]] before the dominoes do, he will be rewarded with a Silver Coin. Additionally, if both Wario's Heart Meter and Heart Gauge are filled, then enemies that would normally drop a [[little heart]] when defeated will drop a Silver Coin instead. '''Gold Coins'''<ref name=WarioLand4>{{cite|language=en-us|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Wario Land 4'' instruction booklet|page=27}}</ref> are found in [[jewel piece]] boxes, [[Full Health Item]] boxes, and [[CD]] boxes. Gold Coins can also be obtained when [[pinball digital counter]]s are cleared in Pinball Zone. Furthermore, the large sunflower in [[Wildflower Fields]] drops Gold Coins when enemies are thrown at its center, and this can be done up to a total of four times.<ref>{{cite|language=en|timestamp=09:01|author=Michael McKenzie|date=March 26, 2014|url=youtu.be/qTMulj_LKgo?t=9m1s|title=''Wario Land 4'' - Wildflower Fields <nowiki>[Normal]</nowiki> score run (23040)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 2, 2020}}</ref> Coins can also be obtained from [[flower (environmental object)|flower]]s found in Wildflower Fields, and the number of coins that are dropped depends on how long Wario waits after the flowers have been pollinated by [[Beezley]]s.

'''Blue Crystals'''<ref name=WarioLand4/> and '''Red Crystals'''<ref name=WarioLand4/> differ from regular coins in that they are found floating in the air, and they do not disappear after a short time. Some [[Wario Land 4#Passages and levels|level]]s feature crystals where only the outline is visible, and the rest of the crystal is transparent. These crystals can be collected by Wario only once certain events occur, such as hitting a [[! Switch#Wario Land 4|"!" Button]] in [[Palm Tree Paradise]], hitting the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] in [[The Big Board]], and touching the first domino but before the button is hit in Domino Row.

The types of coins include:

{{columns|count=2|
*'''Small Coin''' (worth 10 points)
*'''Bronze Coin''' (worth 50 points)
*'''Silver Coin''' (worth 100 points)
*'''Gold Coin''' (worth 500 points)
*'''Blue Crystal''' (worth 10 points)
*'''Red Crystal''' (worth 100 points)
*'''Diamond''' (worth 1,000 points)
}}

The most valuable source of [[point]]s in the game is '''[[Diamond#Wario Land 4|Diamonds]]''', which are worth 1,000 points. They are uncommon items found in all levels, and they are usually the main prize found in [[pink area]]s. Diamonds can also be obtained from [[chance wheel]]s found in The Big Board, where up to three can be collected in this way per playthrough of the level.

All coins collected are put to the side after the player completes a level, and any additional [[Heart (Wario Land series)|hearts]] Wario has are converted to coins at 50 points per heart, the same number as a Bronze Coin. These coins can then be spent later in the [[Mini-Game Shop]], where Wario can play one of three [[Minigame#Wario Land 4|minigames]]. If he gets a certain score in any minigame, he will be awarded a [[Medal (Wario Land 4)|medal]], which can be used to purchase items from the [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]] to assist him in defeating a [[Wario Land 4#Bosses|boss]].
