Coins are the basic form of currency in the Binding of Isaac. They can be gathered in the form of Pennies, Nickels, Dimes (Wrath of the Lamb only), the Quarter or the all-coveted Dollar. You can hold a maximum of 99 cents at any time, any additional coins collected beyond this point will do nothing. Coins can be used to purchase items from the Shop. Beyond that, coins can also be used in gambling at the Arcade with Slot Machines or with Shell Games. Additionally, coins can be donated to Beggars for pickups and a free item. Coins can also be used with the Portable Slot item. Lastly, coins can be used to gain a damage boost from the Money Equals Power passive item.

Forms of CoinsEdit

PenniesEdit

The most common coin in the game. These add 1 cent to your total and can be found almost anywhere such as from Champion Enemies, Poop, Fireplaces, Greed/Super Greed, from completing a room, as a reward from a Slot Machine/Shell Game, in Secret Rooms, from the I AM ERROR Room, from Blood Donation Machines and from the Sack Of Pennies.

NickelsEdit

Nickels may sometimes replace Pennies. These add 5 cents to your total.

The version on the right replaces the nickel in Wrath of the Lamb.

DimesEdit

Dimes are the rarest normal coin in the game and can randomly replace Pennies or Nickels. These add 10 cents to your total. Added in the Wrath of the Lamb DLC.
