Mallow was supposed to buy a [[Cricket Pie]] at the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] [[Item Shop]] with the coin; however, the coin was stolen by the thief [[Croco]]. As such, Mallow teamed up with [[Mario]] to find Croco and retrieve the coin. After defeating the crocodile thief in battle and recovering the Rare Frog Coin, Mallow headed back to the Mushroom Kingdom to purchase the pie. However, Mallow got even more sidetracked as he had to help liberate the Mushroom Kingdom from [[Mack]] and his [[Shyster]] army, who had recently conquered the peaceful kingdom. Eventually, after much work and effort, Mallow finally purchased the Cricket Pie with the Rare Frog Coin and headed back to [[Tadpole Pond]], home of Frogfucius.

Frog Coins are a special type of coin in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Unlike regular coins, a Frog Coin makes a deep, musical clunking sound when picked up. Frog Coins usually appear the same size as big coins, though they appear small in a few locations, such as the Lava Blubble room in Booster Tower. Frog Coins are hidden in several Hidden Treasures and are given during some minigames by performing well.

  • At the Midas River falls, four Frog Coins appear outside the caves. After the barrel-jumping event, the player can also exchange 60 recently obtained coins for one Frog Coin. By collecting 100 coins in one session, the player is awarded five Frog Coins.
  • By completing the Sky Bridge's Expert course in Land's End, the player gets a Frog Coin.
  • Collecting a Golden Beetle during the Beetle Race and giving it to the Snifster at Beetles Are Us rewards the player with one Frog Coin.
  • Successfully scaling the Tall Cliff in Land's End in under twelve seconds (eleven in the Nintendo Switch remake) rewards the player with one Frog Coin; scaling the cliff in under eleven seconds (ten in the remake) rewards the player with five. This can be done an unlimited number of times.
  • At Grate Guy's Casino, the player can get one Frog Coin by lining up three symbols in the slot machine. The player can also bet one Frog Coin in Blackjack. By winning, they win an additional Frog Coin.

Jumping on a Wiggler consecutively ten times on the field in the Forest Maze rewards the player with one Frog Coin; likewise, the player earns a Frog Coin for jumping on a Shogun in the desert whirlpools consecutively three times.

The player can sell the Bright Card to an NPC in the Marrymore shop for up to ten Frog Coins, but to buy it back, the player must pay fifteen Frog Coins.

There are two shops that sell items in exchange for Frog Coins. The first is the "Frog Coin" emporium at Tadpole Pond, and the second is a small shop set up by Frogfucius' Student in Seaside Town. Both shops sell rare items in exchange for Frog Coins. A unique Special Frog Coin gets stolen from Mallow by Croco. When Croco returns it, it is used to buy a Cricket Pie.
