How to find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors Origins

You can find Old Coins lying around the overworld map, and you will get an option to ‘Take’ them once you are close enough. However, unlike Pyroxene, these can be difficult to spot from a distance. That’s why you should be using your Eyes of the Sacred Bird ability by pressing the L2/LT button on the controller or Q on the keyboard to make Old Coins more visible.

Besides, the overworld map collection is in fixed spots, and you can also get Old Coins through other overworld activities. Interacting with an officer to complete their bond event(denoted by a handshake sign) rewards you with 1 Old Coin and completing an officer’s request nets you 3 Old Coins. You will also sometimes receive Old Coins through the Letters system, and increasing the Peace in a region also rewards you with Old Coins for every tier.

Lastly, for the completionists, once you beat the game, you unlock the Ultimate Warrior difficulty which lets you complete specific challenges to earn Old Coins quickly. However, these are difficult challenges so be prepared.
