Coins have been used by societies for thousands of years as a form of currency. Yet, prior to being exchanged for monetary value, coins, or "coyns" as the were known, were trinkets sold in high-rise novelty stores. The most popular of these were small disks employed by somewhat crazed uncles performing the "what's-that-behind-your-ear" trick. While some coyns could be had for as little as a tit-mouse or fat hen, more elaborate ones cost as much as two sheep or an ox. Generally, livestock are known to be horrible currency to carry into high-rise buildings of any sort, so it wasn't long before coyns themselves were used in trade.

  • Loose Change is an item in Paper Princess Peach. It is found around the world, and is converted into Coins after collecting it. Cleftood had to get these items when trying to impress Cleftgal.
  • Loose change is one of the more curious and underestimated forces on the planet. Pennies, nickels, dimes, etc. It has the curious and inexplicable tendency to congregate in many unusual places, such as in jars, and under the sofa. Yet, given time, these small bits of currency can quickly add up until they present a force all their own. People tend to loose change without ever noticing it, along sidewalks and in laundry rooms, and often it remains simply that: lost. However, there is the small chance that it will be found by someone else, and will end up congregating in their jars instead. In the event that your spare change grows to the point that it can no longer be held by jars, then you have a few options: you could put it in a bank, where it can accumulate further with the addition of
