A Dragon Coin or Yoshi Coins are type of Coins only found in Super Mario World and subsequent remakes.

There are five Dragon Coins littered around every level in the game (except the Chocolate Island Secret level which only has two). Collecting five of them is the equivalent of collecting 100 Gold Coins. In Super Mario World's Game Boy Advance remake, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, the amount of Dragon Coins acquired are recorded on a menu, and if you collect them all, they will transform into Peach Coins.

A Dragon Coin features an engraving of a Yoshi head.

Interestingly, most of the games in the Yoshi Series (such as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS) depict their Coins (both in-game and in official artwork) as having Yoshis engraved on them rather than having the standard Mario "1" indent. This makes them look exactly like smaller Dragon Coins, and may suggest that all Coins found on Yoshi's Island were at least once Dragon Coins.
