| '''Coins''' (sometimes known as '''Gold''' or '''Yellow''' '''Coins''' and called '''Mushroom Coins''' in the Beanbean Kingdom) are the main currency of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. They first appeared in ''[[Mario Bros.]]'', where they moved along the floor and were worth one hundred points if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] caught them. They later appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they were demoted to ten points per coin. If Mario [[jump]]ed up and hit a [[? Block]], sometimes Coins would pop out. When one hundred Coins were collected, the [[player]] was rewarded with an extra life. Coins served the same function in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

| In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Coins could only be retrieved by using a [[Magic Potion]] to create a [[door]] near unpicked [[Vegetable]]s. When this door appeared, the Mario, Luigi, [[Peach]], or [[Toad]] could use it to travel to [[Subspace]] and pick out the aforementioned Vegetables, who would then be extra point-rewarding Coins. In the [[Mario Party series|''Mario Party'' series]], these Coins are used to buy [[Stars]], [[Item]]s, and [[Orb]]s. They are usually obtained by winning a mini-game, when using Orbs, or at the start of the game. The way the Coins look dramatically changes with each game since ''[[Mario Party]]''.

| In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', Coins were found at each course. Collecting them would make [[karts]] faster. When jostling another driver or getting hit by an item such as a [[Red Shell|Red]] or [[Green Shell]], the player would lose Coins. Jostling a driver without having any Coins would result in sliding. There was even an item providing the player with two extra Coins.

| In ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island DS|sequel]], Coins would give an extra life for every hundred collected. ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' explains that Coins came from the [[Sammer Guy]] warrior [[List of Sammer Guys#Footsteps of Coins|Footsteps of Coins]], who is the one who purposely drops coins around the universe. The coins are his, and despite dropping them in bizarre places, he doesn't want anybody else to take them.In the [[Paper Mario|Paper Mario series]], Coins are fairly common. Coins will appear whenever an enemy is defeated. However, when Mario runs away from a battle, he will lose coins. However, not only does Coins came from usual ? Blocks, but came from trees and bushes Mario can find in various places. To get a single coin from a tree, Mario has to use his [[Hammer]] to make the tree shake so that the single coin would fall down. To find the single coin in the bush, Mario simply tries to search the bush when the player goes near to a bush and attempts to do search it.

| ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' introduces regular coins and [[Beanbean Coins]]. [[Prince Peasley]] made a bet of 999,999,999 Mushroom Kingdom Coins with Mario and Luigi, about who should find the pieces of the [[Beanstar]] first. Mario and Luigi win, and Prince Peasley rewards them with the promised coins. However, since they were Mushroom Kingdom Coins, the exchange rate translated into only 99 Beanbean coins. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a Coin appears as a [[trophy]], although this trophy (which is labeled "Gold Coin") appears to be depicting a Yellow Coin from ''Super Mario 64''. This game also introduces [[Smash Coin]]s.

| |
| ''[[Super Mario World]]'' introduced the [[Dragon Coin]], a special Coin that could only be found in certain places. Usually there were only five in each level. Coins had a very important role in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]''. Six [[Golden Coin]]s were actually the key to [[Mario's Castle]], and [[Wario]] had scattered these Coins across [[Mario Land]]. Each Golden Coin was guarded by a different creature; [[Ricky]], [[Radonkel]], [[Sabasa]], [[Tatanga]], the [[Three Little Pigheads]], and an [[Octopus]] were all guardians of the Coins. Regular Coins could also be used to buy extra lives and power-ups through a gambling minigame whose stats could be changed depending on how many Coins were spent.

| | |
| ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' also introduced [[Red Coin]]s, which were disguised as regular Coins until [[Yoshi]] touched them. [[Image:ManyCoins.PNG |thumb|right|A Red Coin under disguise as a yellow coin and a normal coin in ''Super Mario World 2''.]] ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' introduced [[Blue Coin]]s and [[Yellow Coin]]s, two more different types of coins, and every normal Coin it featured was actually a Star-imprinted [[Yellow Coin]]. ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' followed the same formula as ''Super Mario 64'', although it featured normal, classic Coins rather than Yellow Coins. ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' introduced a new type of giant, red coin called the [[Ace Coin]]s. Regular coins could also be found, although they were harder to find (and, as was in the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', could only be found in Subspace).

| Coins were the most common treasure in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They were worth 5000 G, and could be found all over the mansion. Whenever [[Luigi]] took damage, he would lose a few Coins, which would disappear if they were not reclaimed quickly enough. In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', a [[Star Coin]] could be found in any level (there are three in each level). If Mario or Luigi collects five Star Coins, he can unlock other [[Mushroom House]]s. Fifty Star Coins are required to get a new screen holding the information needed to access Blue Mushroom Houses. (In order to get Blue Mushroom Houses, [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] must be defeated in the last level.)

| |legend=The Mushroom Kingdom is dotted with these mysterious coins. There seems to be an endless supply hidden in various blocks, and Mario gains an extra life when he manages to collect a hundred of them. No one can confirm whether or not these coins are actually used as the currency of the Mushroom Kingdom, but it's a safe assumption.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *There has been much controversy over the correct capitalization of the word "Coin"; most games use the proper "Coin" in reference to the Coin as an [[item]] but simply use "coin" when using it to label prices. As such, most games interchangeably use both "Coin" and "coin" depending on usage.
| |
| *In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]'', a [[glitch]] existed that could turn Mario into a variety of sprites; these sprites included all frames of a Coin's animation, effectively allowing the player to control a Coin.
| |
| *A [[Sammer Guy]] named [[List of Sammer Guys#Footsteps of Coins|Footsteps of Coins]] claims that it is he who hides the coins around each game.
