Exploring the vast overworld of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can be a rewarding experience, offering you various resources that enhance your gameplay. While farming Pyroxene is essential for crafting gems, you'll also encounter Old Coins. These might seem mysterious at first, but they become crucial later in your journey.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins won't have an immediate use, so you can safely ignore them as you progress through the first chapter of the game. Focus on advancing the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, complete the following main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
After conquering these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji, where you'll meet a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a subsequent task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld, right next to Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting old interactions, you can exchange your Old Coins for valuable rewards.
These rewards are tied to specific milestones of Old Coins you turn in, so make it a habit to cash them in whenever you pass by Shui Jing Retreat.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With a total of 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, it's not advisable to focus on farming them early on. Instead, as you progress, more methods to acquire them will become available. Here are the ways you can obtain Old Coins:
- Discover them in the overworld. Keep an eye out for their small icon, which only appears when you're close.
- Earn them through Bond Interactions with your companions and officers.
- Receive them from letters at the Inn following significant story moments.
- Collect them as Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
When exploring the overworld, remember that the icon for Old Coins is smaller and less noticeable than that of Pyroxene. The rewards you can earn from Old Coins vary in usefulness, but you'll naturally accumulate them by simply playing the game and engaging with its world.
