Five Coins are mostly commonly concealed within blocks in the Mario & Luigi series. In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Five Coins can occasionally be found scattered around outside blocks.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Large coins are one of the coin types in Super Princess Peach, though they appear uncommonly in levels. When a Courage Soda is in effect, every enemy whacked by Perry drops one of these large coins, though the value is increased by 2.5 for every two enemies whacked in rapid succession.
