A pile of Gold Coins found naturally underground.

Coin Piles are background objects created when the player places a Copper, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Coin on the ground. They are for decorative purposes only. Only one coin is needed to create a pile (which occupies 1 tile, Coin Pile One Tile.png), but additional coins can be added to increase the pile size. Coin Piles can, like other furniture, be destroyed with a pickaxe or a drill. This allows a player to pick up the coins again.

Coin piles are capable of rarely generating underground, specifically in the Campsite and Mosaic micro-biomes.

Notes

  • Coin Piles behave like Silt, Slush, and Sand and its variants; they will fall down instead of hovering in mid-air if whatever they are placed on is removed.
  • The appearance of Coin Piles changes after how they are placed to give impression of a flowing state.
  • Coin Piles look much more valuable than the coins they are made from. A single tile (1 coin) actually looks like 15 coins.
  • Coins will not balance out into a neat, orderly pyramid unless intentionally placed that way.
