Coin Piles

   

Desktop/Console/Old-gen console/Mobile-Only Content: This information applies only to the Desktop, Console, Old-gen console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.

Not to be confused with Coin Stashes.

A Coin Pile showing that any kind of coin can be stacked on top of each other.

A pile of Gold Coins found naturally underground.

Coin Piles are background objects created when the character 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, ), but additional coins can be added to increase the pile size. Coin Piles can, like other furniture, be destroyed with a Pickaxe. This allows a player to pick up the coins again.

Each Coin Pile shown below consists of six placed Coin items.

	Copper Coin pile.
	Silver Coin pile.
	Gold Coin pile.
	Platinum Coin pile.

Coin piles are capable of rarely generating underground, specifically in the campsite and mosaic mini-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.
