Talk:Coin

Should we put how coins work on Club Nintendo?


 * Well maybe a quick mention (if they are Mario coins), but it seems such information would be more beneficial on a Club Nintendo page. --
 * I suggested here that we could have a page on the Club Nintendo loyalty program. --Grandy02 07:43, 2 January 2009 (EST)


 * We should - it's a major Nintendo program that releases some exclusive Mario products. Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to actually start the article. --

Coins appear in alost every game!!!There are many kinds of coins.


 * This has nothing to do with improving the article... Please talk about how interesting coins are talk in forums here if you want.

Mario Kart 7
Is the maximum amount of coins you can get in a GP 40 because you can get 10 coins per level, or does it add up ALL the coins you collect even if they don't count towards your total during the race? Because 40 coins per GP would mean you have to play 125 grand prix to get a Ghastly Glider and 250 GPs for Gold Glider and etc...Mastergiygas 16:47, 28 December 2011 (EST)

Coins compared to american dollars
Someone has found out how much a "Mushroom Kingdom Coin" is compared to a U.S. Dollar. (dollar as they are probably american) i can't remember how much it was, but it was said on a video, if i find it should i link the source? 109.145.44.126 15:42, 26 February 2013 (EST)

More pictures less writing.
It needs more pics. There really isn't that much. Also It needs less writing. I am goombob and I love paper mario games (talk) 18:27, 17 May 2013 (EDT)Goombob
 * The pictures and their useless captions seem adequate to me. I don't see how there is too much writing. We don't have any overblown plot "synopsizes" here. 00:08, 18 May 2013 (EDT)

Merge 5 Gold Coin and 50 Gold Coin with Coin
The articles 5 Gold Coin and 50 Gold Coin are stubs, and they always will. There's nothing to say about them; they're just coins with a different value. The article Coin already covers different types of coins which do not deserve their own articles. I'm not sure this even needs a TPP, frankly

Support

 * 1) Per proposal

Oppose

 * 1) Stubs are not short articles. Stubs are articles that are lacking in information. The items have different values than a regular coin, and are distinguished with unique appearances and names. By all means, they should have individual articles. This proposal also fails to account for 10 Gold Coin, 20 Blue Coin, the WL4 Coin, Large Coin, and Giant Coin.

Comments
Fair enough. Are the names even official? Some of them are tagged as conjectural, and none of them include references. I might have to change my proposal to include those articles, but I don't see the point of:
 * Coin (Wario Land 4). The talk page mentions an organization by game is more efficient, but as far as I know that's the only case. The coins do not act differently in WL4. It was apparently supposed to prevent "making an article for all the different types of Coin name", which happened anyway.
 * Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS). If the Mario Kart coins, which have a different effect than regular coins, are covered in the Coin article, then these should too.
 * Large Coin. Conjectural name, should be merged with 5 Gold Coin (and then be merged with Coin if my original proposal passes)
 * Giant Coin. If a source for the name doesn't come up, should become 100 Gold Coin (and then be merged with Coin if my original proposal passes)
 * 20 Blue Coin. Only appears in one game, and doesn't appear along regular Blue coins. Could be merged with Blue Coin, although I admit they're not collectibles as usual.
 * X Gold Coin. Per proposal. 16:10, 30 December 2015 (EST)
