Coins
Coins serve as an in-game currency in Pou. They resemble golden coins, they are progressively earned by playing with Pou.
Ways To Earn
Minigames
Depending on the minigame, coins are either picked up or progressively obtained by completing different objectives in the minigame.
Hill Drive (on mud), Match Tap, Color Tap, Cliff Jump and Free Fall will be your best options, as they give you more money faster!
Leveling Up
This can passing level by simply taking care of Pou by doing daily activities like:
- Feeding it
- Restoring its health
- Cleaning it
- Entertaining it
- Restore its energy
Each level will give to the player the number of level multiplied by 10 (ex: Level 15 = 15 x 10 = 150). This coin-method will stop when player reaches Level 100 or more, then the player will receive 1000. More information can be found here.
Unlocking Achievements
This can be done by reaching goals in certain activities like:
- Eating
- Showering
- Healing
- Restoring energy (with potions)
- Playing minigames (games that don't have achievements are: Four Pous, Tic Tac Pou, Beach Volley and Sudoku)
- Watering flowers
Watching advertisements
This can be done by tapping at the top left corner, after that, click on the coin with the video icon (if you have a decent connection), each ad should give 30 coins. You can also do this by duplicating your coins after finishing a minigame.
*If you earned less than 30 coins in a minigame, you can still earn 30 by watching the ad after finishing it.
Purchasing them with real money
To do this, you should tap at the top left corner, then select the option of coins you want and buy them.
*The prices are measured in US dollars, these amounts vary on the currency of your country.
Rubbing Pou when being sad
You can do this by placing your finger to pou and rub it, this will only give coins if its fun is below 100%.

Trivia
- Currently, the limit for coins is 2147483647, this is due to the fact that Pou is a 32-bit game, surpassing that number will make your coins lock to 0 until you reset the app, resetting your coins to 1.
- In Minigames, coins produce two sounds. Single coins make a little clinking sound, while clusters of coins make a loud rattling sound (the same one used when purchasing an item).
- When Pou gets coins, they will open their mouth wide, slightly lower it, and then finally close it. This is similar to Pou's animation when being rubbed.
