Invest Coins in Lumpy in Rogueport

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Lumpy

Total Coins Invested Coins Returned
100 coins 300
200 coins 500
300 coins 999

Lumpy is a green Ratooey NPC found around the east side of the Rogueport dock who will ask Mario if he wants to invest in something.

From the game's Prologue to the start of Chapter 4, Mario can invest up to three payments of 100 coins each to Lumpy. After Chapter 6, Lumpy will return a set amount of coins, depending on how much was invested before, so it's highly recommended to give Lumpy a grand total of 300 coins to get the most out of it.

Pick Up Coins When Defeating Enemies

Mario can collect coins by defeating enemies in battles. However, the amount of coins Mario can collect is very limited, making this method of farming coins inefficient.

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - Boss Coin Rewards

Defeating bosses in their own respective chapters will reward you with 100 coins. This is one of the new features added in the Switch remake of the game.

Equipping the Money Money Badge is Not Recommeded

Money Money is a badge that increases the amount of coins dropped by enemies. However, the effect is underwhelming since you won't really get a lot of additional coins per battle.

Furthermore, the badge is expensive, costing 702 coins worth of Pianta Tokens to obtain, so it's not recommeded to get it just to earn a few more coins from battles.

Exchange for Gold Bars

Item Buying Price Selling Price
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Gold Bar Gold Bar 110 coins 100 coins
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Gold Bar x3 Gold Bar x3 350 coins 300 coins

If you still want to store your coins somewhere, you can purchase a Gold Bar or Gold Bar x3 at the Deepdown Depot in the Rogueport Sewers.

Deposit Gold Bars at the Shop

Gold Bar is an item that has no purpose other than to be sold at the shop and exchanged for coins. Given this, it's highly recommended to deposit the item in your storage via any shop so it won't fill up Mario's limited inventory space.

How to Store Items

How to Use Coins

Use for Buying at Shops

Coins are mainly used to buy items and badges at the shops scattered around the game world. The items sold and their prices vary from shop to shop, so if players want something to buy, they should check the shop's selection and prices before purchasing.

Obtain Pianta Tokens at the Pianta Parlor

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Pianta Token Exchange Machine

Coins can also be used to obtain Pianta tokens at the Pianta Parlor, which are used to play games and purchase items inside the casino.

Pianta Tokens can be obtained by exchanging 3 coins per Pianta Token at the exchange machine inside the Pianta Parlor.

Pianta Parlor Guide

Can't Use Pianta Tokens to Get Coins

Once Mario exchanges coins for Pianta Tokens, he can't exchange Pianta Tokens to get coins back.

Pianta Tokens are exclusively for playing games or exchanging prizes in the Pianta Parlor, so players need to think carefully when exchanging coins for Pianta Tokens.
