Exploring the vast overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can be incredibly rewarding, offering you multiple resources to enhance your gameplay. While Pyroxene can be farmed to craft gems, you'll also come across Old Coins, which might seem mysterious at first but become invaluable as you progress.
Old Coins are plentiful, with hundreds scattered throughout the game. Here's a detailed guide on what you can do with them and how to acquire them.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins won't have a purpose in the first chapter, so focus on advancing the main storyline. Once you reach Chapter 2, complete these key main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
After triumphing in these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter Sima Hui. Following your conversation and assisting the Innkeeper with incense, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld near Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange your Old Coins for various rewards.
It's beneficial to turn in your Old Coins whenever you pass by, as rewards are tied to specific milestones.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With a total of 500 Old Coins to collect, it's wise not to rush into farming them early on, as more methods will unlock as you progress. Here are the various ways to obtain them:
- Exploring the Overworld: Old Coins are represented by a small icon that only appears when you're close, unlike the more visible Pyroxene.
- Bond Interactions: Engage in interactions with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
- Letters at the Inn: After certain story moments, check the Inn for letters that may contain Old Coins.
- Regional Peace Rewards: Collect these rewards at Waypoints after achieving peace in regions.
While the rewards from Old Coins vary in utility, the best approach is to enjoy the game naturally, and you'll find these coins accumulating over time.
