Gold coin

For other uses, see Coins (disambiguation).

Gold coins are currency items that are worth $50 each ($5 in free version). The gold coin is first seen in Level 2-1 in Plants vs. Zombies, along with silver coins, and possibly diamonds. It is awarded to the player in a money bag, a trophy, or by killing zombies. It is also found in the Zen Garden when the player uses fertilizer, bug spray, or plays music to a plant.

In Plants vs. Zombies 2, it is worth $100. It is no longer found in a money bag or given from lawn mowers and the player gets silver coins instead.

Gold coins and silver coins now have Crazy Dave's face on it.
In Ancient Egypt - Day 3, Penny gives the player 5 gold coins, but they earn a value of $1000 rather than $500, probably just to show how the player can buy Plant Food with coins.
