'''Frog Coins''' appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. These coins are generally accepted only by [[frog]]s and [[tadpole]]s, and there are only two shops known that sell items in exchange for Frog Coins. The first is the [[Frog Coin Emporium]] at [[Tadpole Pond]], and the second is a small shop set up by [[Frogfucius' Student]] in [[Seaside Town]]. Both shops sell rare items in exchange for Frog Coins. Unlike [[Coin|Coins]], a Frog Coin makes a deep, musical clunking sound when picked up. There are also a special variety of Frog Coins called the [[Rare Frog Coin]]. An efficient way of getting Frog Coins with little effort is jumping on [[Wiggler]]s. After some jumps and some regular coins, a Frog Coin will be released.
