'''Coins''' (which look like this {{Coin}} in the game) are the main currency in [[Subway Surfers]]. Coins can be obtained in many ways, for example, collecting them while in the subway or receiving them from [[Mystery Box|mystery boxes]]. With enough coins, players can buy [[Characters|characters]] like [[King]], [[Zoe]] and [[Prince K]], or [[Hoverboard|hoverboards]] like [[Panda]], [[Hot Rod]] and [[Lowrider]]. However, some characters or hoverboards like [[Tricky]], [[Yutani]] and [[Fresh]] use tokens instead of coins to be obtained. Coins are also used to upgrade and buy [[Power-Ups|power-ups]] and skip [[Missions|missions]].

==Trivia==
*If players are in need of coins, the [[Coin Magnet]] will help collect all the coins in all three lanes, making it a very useful [[Power-Ups|power-up]] in collecting them.
**The [[Jetpack]] is also good in collecting coins as they will appear in the air when flying, while the [[Super Sneakers]] help collect coins under them while jumping. The [[Power Jumper]] gives players three lines of coins when jumping high in the sky.
*Coins appear in 3 different types of trails, a normal straight trail, an arch trail (requires the player to jump) and a diagonal trail (requires the player to switch lanes).
*The player cannot collect coins if they activated a headstart.
*Other ways of getting coins are buying them with in-app purchases (using real money) or when the player's Facebook/Game Center friend plays the game and had 25 runs.
**There are also easier ways to get coins, like watching a sponsored video 
**There is an in-app purchase where they can get double coins for every coin they collect while running for $4.99, making it easier to buy limited characters and hoverboards. Players can also temporarily do this by watching an ad.
**Sometimes in-app purchases have sales which lets them buy a certain amount of coins in a much cheaper price.
**A starter pack was also added during the {{Mumbai}} edition that rewards the player 7,000{{Coin}} and some [[Key|keys]] and [[Hoverboard|hoverboards]] for $0.99.
*Coins can also increase players' run score, which makes them essential in getting highscores.
**The points gained from coins are counted in the following equation:
***number of coins x score multiplier x 2.
***A simpler way to look at it: each coin is worth 54 points. If they only grab one coin in a run, then at the end of it they'll get 54 points added to your score. Meanwhile the score multiplier is at work boosting their score while you run.
* So far, all limited characters that can be unlocked by coins cost 95,000{{Coin}} and limited hoverboards cost 50,000{{Coin}} (except [[Bamboo]], costing {{Coin}} 20,000).
* [[Qin]] is the last character that was released costing coins.
** There were no [[2022]] or [[2023]] characters that cost coins.
*On April 1, [[2022]], some coins collected by the player were different, because of April Fools Day. They had the appearance of bunny coins.
*In {{Luoyang}}, they got a new look.
*In the Chinese Version, their look has been changed to {{SpaceStation}} 2023, but they are slightly different.
