'''Pianta tokens''', also known as simply '''piantas''', are blue coins with [[Don Pianta]]'s face imprinted on them. They are found solely in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and are only usable at the [[Pianta Parlor]], where [[Mario]] can win them from the slot machines or minigames. They can be traded for items and badges from [[Lahla]] behind the desk. In addition to earning them from minigames, three [[coin]]s can be exchanged for a single pianta token.
'''Pianta Tokens''' are blue coins with [[Don Pianta]]'s face imprinted on them; they are found solely in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They're only able for utilization at the [[Pianta Parlor]], where [[Mario]] can win them from the slot machines. Mario can trade them for items and badges from [[Lahla]] the [[Boo]] working at the desk. The change machine trades three [[coins]] for one token, which is generally a bad deal since Mario can get some of the tokens for free if he is good at the [[mini-game]]s.


The minigames themselves have pianta tokens scattered throughout their respective stages. In order to turn a profit, however, at least 11 pianta tokens need to be earned, due to the fact that each game costs 10 tokens to play. They can also be earned at slot machines, totaling three methods of obtaining pianta tokens.
The mini-games have some Pianta Tokens scattered in their [[levels]], and since the games cost ten of them just to play, the number of tokens over ten is how many Mario has won. For example, if Mario wins nine tokens, he just lost one from the game.


To play a slot machine, Mario must deposit one pianta token. If the player matches three of a kind, more tokens will be earned, with said amount differing depending on what was matched. Three [[Don Pianta]]s give him three tokens; three Stars give him fifteen, and three sevens gives him one-hundred. However, once the prizes are earned, they are not given to the player directly: instead, they are scattered onto the floor and vanish relatively quickly, meaning that they must be collected on the floor.
However, it takes a long time to win enough Pianta Tokens for the more expensive prizes by playing the mini-games, so once the player has got the high scores in all the mini-games available at the time, it is much quicker to win Pianta Tokens at the slot machines. With a little practice, it is possible to line up three red sevens on a semi-regular basis (as they are the only red symbol on the reel, so they are very easy to spot), and since the prize for three red sevens is one-hundred Pianta Tokens, it is very easy to make a decent profit.


==Names in other languages==
To play a slot machine, Mario must deposit one Pianta Token. The slots will then spin. If Mario matches three of a kind, he'll earn more Pianta Tokens. Three [[Don Pianta]]s give him three Pianta Tokens; three Stars give him fifteen Pianta Tokens, and three 7s gives him one-hundred Pianta Tokens. These tokens will disappear shortly after they land on the ground, so Mario must hurry and collect the tokens before they're gone.

==Trivia==
*The maximum number of pianta tokens Mario can have at one time is 99,999. This is reduced to 9999 in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. Nothing occurs if this amount is reached: the Pianta Changer will still allow Mario to deposit coins; however, nothing will be earned.
