'''Koins''' are [[Kremling]]s encountered in every level of the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Koins wear buckets on their heads and carry trash can lids with [[DK Coin]]s attached to them as shields, with their name deriving from the latter. According to the game's credits, Koins belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

[[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can defeat a Koin by using a [[Steel Keg]]; oftentimes, they have to throw the Steel Keg over him, which will then rebound off a wall and hit Koin in the back, defeating him and giving Dixie and Kiddy a DK Coin. If the [[Kong]]s themselves approach a Koin from the front, he will knock them away; if they attempt to jump on him, he will raise his shield and block the jump. Most of the time, Koins are found near the beginning or the end of the level. After the DK Coin is collected, a Koin will be left with just the trash can lid.
