Donkey Kong Island and its citizens runs on a coin system very similar to the rest of the world, but unlike the [[Coin|coins]] used in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], the denizens Donkey Kong Island and its surrounding lands use coins with the likeness of bananas engraved on the surface known as [[Banana Coin]]s. In most games the coins display a picture of a Banana Bunch, but more recent installments portray them with only a single banana. ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' featured the tender in several different colors, although only the Kong who corresponded with the associated color was allowed to pick up the coins. The game also featured very large multi-colored Banana Coins found in dirt mounds that could be unearthed using a shockwave attack. These special variations are much more valuable to the player, as they give each playable Kong an extra five coins regardless of who picks it up.

Due to the appearance of the Kongs in several ''Mario'' series games, they are also known to use regular coins while off visiting other parts of the world, with the banana-printed tender used exclusively on their home turf. In addition, the apes have also been known to collect [[Kremkoin]]s while invading [[Crocodile Isle]] in order to pay [[Klubba]] and gain access to the [[Kremling Lost World|Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)]]. Since Klubba does not accept Banana Coins as payment, it can be assumed that the money is not an acceptable form of exchange outside of the Donkey Kong Island and its affiliated areas.
