Coin Block

"When you hit this block... You'll bash out a specific number of coins!"

- MC Ballyhoo

A Coin Block is a term used to describe a Brick or ? Block that gives the Player a coin; usually, the term is used for a block that gives Players multiple coins. Coin-giving blocks have appeared in nearly every Mario game, debuting in Super Mario Bros.. For blocks that contain multiple coins, in most games there is a time limit for how long it will continue to give the player coins, instead of actually having a set number of coins. In New Super Mario Bros., striking a Coin Block enough times will produce a Super Mushroom.

In Super Paper Mario, if Mario Flips, he can see an image of a coin on the side of a Brick Block that gives him multiple coins.

In Mario Party DS, if any character lands on a Space with a Coin Block, a block will appear and the character will have to hit the block to see how many coins can come out of it in five or ten seconds.

Trivia

 * In the 2006 version of Nintendo Monopoly, Coin Block spaces and cards replace the traditional Community Chest ones. In the 2010 version, Brick Blocks are used instead.
