'''Gold Bills''' are golden [[Bullet Bill]]s found only in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are only found outside [[Pinna Park]] occasionally being shot by a [[Monty Mole]]. When defeated, it gives off many [[coin]]s and is a great way to get the 100 Coin [[Shine Sprite]]. Gold Bills can be defeated like any regular Bullet Bill, by spraying it with [[FLUDD]] or [[jump]]ing on it.
