Exploring the overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins offers more than just scenic views; it's a treasure trove of resources that can significantly enhance your gameplay. While you'll frequently encounter Pyroxene, which is essential for crafting gems, you'll also stumble upon Old Coins. Initially, the purpose of these Old Coins might seem elusive, but they play a crucial role later in the game.
There are multiple ways to acquire Old Coins, and with hundreds available throughout the game, you'll soon amass a considerable collection. Let's delve into the uses of Old Coins and the various methods to obtain them.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
During the initial chapter of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you won't be able to utilize Old Coins, so it's best to focus on progressing through the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, make sure to complete the following main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
Upon completing these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a subsequent errand to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld, conveniently located next to Ji. Here, you can engage with Sima Hui and finally put your Old Coins to good use. In addition to checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange your Old Coins for valuable rewards.
To maximize your rewards, always turn in your Old Coins when you reach specific milestones.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With a total of 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, it's advisable not to focus on farming them too early on. Instead, as you progress, you'll unlock more efficient methods to collect them. Here are the various ways to obtain Old Coins:
- Exploring the Overworld: Keep an eye out for the small icon representing Old Coins, which only appears when you're in close proximity.
- Bond Interactions: Engage in Bond Interactions with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
- Letters at the Inn: After key story moments, check the letters at the Inn for additional Old Coins.
- Regional Peace Rewards: Collect rewards at Waypoints after achieving regional peace.
While searching for Old Coins in the overworld, remember that their icons are smaller and less conspicuous than those of Pyroxene. The rewards for Old Coins vary in utility, but by focusing on enjoying the game, you'll naturally accumulate them over time.
