Coin/LINE

Coin is the main and the most common currency in Cookie Run. It can be obtained freely and indefinitely, from many different methods. Coins allows the player to buy cookies, boosts, Power Upgrades and upgrade owned cookies, pets, or treasures.

Types of Coins
There are three types of coins.

Silver Coins are worth 1 coin, and are the most commonly seen coin. As the name states, the coin are colored silver and can be obtained while playing or appears with unique patterns in Bonus Time. Some pets also produces silver coins, such as Hat of Santa also generates 5 silver coins one at a time or Pirate's Bomb which turn obstacles into coins. "Coins Jelly" will also turn obstacles into coins.

Gold Coins are worth 10 coins, and appears less common. They are golden and slightly bigger than Silver Coins, hence the name. This coin often appears either before or after the energy potion, and sometimes forming "LUCKY!" or a heart with an arrow. Gold coins also appears in narrow spaces in several stages. They also can be obtained with the Random Boost item 'Gold Coins boost' which makes Coins Jelly and Pirate's Bomb turn obstacles into gold coins. They are also available in any variation of Bonus Time.

Giant Gold Coins are worth 100 coins. As the name implies, these coins are Gold Coins, just much bigger and worth 10 times as much. In season 1 of Cookie Run, only Gold Drop can produce this kind of coins, but in season 2 this coin appears more often. This coin appears in the narrow spaces in the game (such as in the Stage 4), and sometimes also appear above the Energy Potion. In bonus time, this cookie will be much more often appears in the bear-jelly-themed Bonus Time, although this coin also found in space-themed Bonus Time.

Each coins earned in the game (not from treasures/bonuses) gives points too. It is relatively smaller than jellies, but may also contributes some portion to the overall score.

Earning Coins
Coins can be earned by many ways.

Playing games
Any types of coins can float in mid-air and can be collected by making pets going to the coins (or using magnetic aura to attract coins from narrow spaces or from distance closer to the cookie). They also are available in Bonus Time. At the end of the game, some boosts, cookies, pets, and treasures will give extra coins added into the coin bonus total based on the coins originally collected during the game. The coin bonuses stacks, so if there are more than one coin bonus effect, the cumulative coin bonus will gets bigger. For example, when a player earns 1,000 coins at the end of the game, and there are two bonuses 25% and 10% each, the final coins earned will be 1,375 coins (1,000 x 125% = 1,250 x 110% = 1,375) not 1,350 coins (1,000 x 135%).

Coin Farming
Coin Farming is a term many players used to refer the most effective way to earn coins while playing games. There are several methods of earning coins quickly. The objective of coin farming is to either earn big amount of coins in relatively short run or earning the biggest possible amount of coins in a long run, using combination of unique set of cookie, pet, treasures, and boost.

Gold Coins Boost farming
The key for this farming method is to use the Random Boost item until the player gets "Gold Coins Boost". When equipped with Pirate's Bomb, all obstacles destroyed will turn into Gold Coins, not silver coins. Along with a coin boost from Buttercream Choco Cookie and treasures, some players could earn up to 15,000 coins without relay, and 25,000 coins with relay.

To make the effect works best, make sure to upgrade cookie, pet, and treasure to maximum level. Do not hit any obstacle or fall into a hole, do as best as you can because every miss will make a huge difference. Do not take any Blast Jelly or Magnet Jelly if possible, to avoid the Pirate Bomb's 'pattern' gets ruined, because there will be huge amount of coins at Stage 4 and Stage 5 possibly earned with the right 'pattern'.

If the player does not own Pirate Cookie, Angel Cookie can also be used, with all three treasures must gives coin bonus.

Quick farming
The quick farming is the quickest way to earn coins. There are two options, the first is to immediately end the game after earning the first Giant Gold Coins from Gold Drop. But, players can choose the second option to continue running and hit the obstacles intentionally 3 times (and 4 times if Cheerleader Cookie's Power+ is working) before the Bonus Time Jelly at the end of the third stage. Later, when the player earns Bonus Time session at the condition where the cookie is almost running out of energy, the bear jellies theme of Bonus Time with lots of bear jellies and giant gold coins will trigger, with up to 1,500 coins in just Bonus Time session.

This quick farming offers less coins earned (only 3,000~4,500 coins per game), but very useful for newer players and players with limited spare time.

Quick Double Coins farming
This method copies the Quick farming method, the difference is this farming equips any relay cookie and also using Random Boost "Double Coins". This farming will not also gives more money from relay cookie (and also a chance of getting the bear jellies Bonus Time twice), but will double all net coin earnings after all coin bonuses from cookie and treasures added. Please take note that chances to get bear jellies Bonus Time depends on your luck when using the relay cookie, so using Cookie Relay boost is totally optional.

Long Double Coins farming
This kind of farming equips the "Double Coins" boost from Random Boost again. The key of getting more money, other than Gold Drop is because level 8 Zombie Cookie has the ability to revive with 17 Energy eight times. Playing along with low energy remaining in the cookie will increase the chance of getting rainbow rush Bonus Time session (although, there's no guarantee for that). Then, Buttercream Choco Cookie must be used in relay to get some more coins in the run and 25% coins bonus at the end of the game. If you're pretty lucky, you'll get the second rainbow rush Bonus Time in the relay cookie.

This method usually farms some amount above 10,000 coins. Some lucky players have claimed they can earn up to 27,000 coins in one game.

Bonus Time farming
The key of this Bonus Time farming is, trying to get more coins from multiple times of Bonus Time Jelly (and significantly bigger chance of getting the bear jellies theme of Bonus Time with lots of giant gold coins). To make this farming gives even more coins, players can use  'Random Boost ' with "Double Coins".

This farming also gives significantly bigger amount of XP as well, so this method can also be used for XP farming with using Double XP powerup.

Lucky Draw
For every 100 Gift Points earned, players gets a chance to take a Lucky Draw that will gives coins or other prizes. Coin amounts are ranging from 1,000~3,500 (with 500 coins in increment), and more rarely 5,000 and 10,000 coins.

Selling Treasures
Players can sell unwanted treasures either to free up space or because the treasure are subjectively judged by the player to be less useful or not needed. Some players usually also sells treasures from upgrading a lower-grade cookie or pet to Level 8, however after selling the treasure, in order to earn the treasure again the player needs to buy with Crystal.

Buying with Crystals
When in need, players can purchase more coins with Crystals they own. Players in the main window of the game can tap the Coin bar and a Coin Shop will pop-up offering coins with five different price pack. However, most users does not buy coins this way unless they needs more coins urgently.
