''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
10 Gold Coins also were present in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. In the game, they look like normal coins, but instead of their usual "1" symbol, a cross is stamped on them.

In Wario Land II, coins were used to pay minigames in order to find hidden treasures. Contrary to regular coins that can be found just along the road, Wario Coins are usually stored in secret rooms or hardly accessible locations, to make it harder for the player to obtain them.
