Bear coin

Bear Coins are silver coins that appeared in the games Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. Bear Coins are found in abundant quantities across the various levels of the Northern Kremisphere. These coins are needed to compete in Swanky's Sideshow. Bear Coins can also be used to buy items from the Brothers Bear, notably items from Bazaar's general store. A picture of a bear brother is printed on the coin. The coin is used for similar purposes in Donkey Kong Land III, used to buy items from Bear's Sheepy Shop.

Trivia

 * Bear Coins are the rough equivalent of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest's Banana Coins, as both are common coins used to purchase services.
