Exploring the overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can be a rewarding experience, providing you with valuable resources for your future battles. While farming Pyroxene allows you to craft gems, you'll also come across Old Coins, which may seem mysterious at first, as their use isn't immediately apparent early in the game.
There are several ways to acquire Old Coins, and you'll find hundreds scattered throughout the game. Let's delve into what you can use Old Coins for and the various methods to obtain them.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
In the early stages of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you won't be able to use Old Coins until you progress past the first chapter. Initially, focus on advancing through the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, complete the following main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
After successfully completing these three main battles, you'll return to the city of Ji where you'll encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld, located right next to the city of Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting old interactions, you can exchange your Old Coins for various rewards.
Rewards are awarded when you reach specific milestones with your Old Coins, so make sure to turn them in whenever you pass by the Shui Jing Retreat.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins to collect throughout the game, it's advisable not to focus on farming them early on, as you'll gradually unlock more effective methods to acquire them. Here are the various ways to obtain Old Coins:
- Discovering them while exploring the overworld.
- Receiving them from Bond Interactions with your companions and officers.
- Obtaining them from letters found at the Inn following story events.
- Collecting Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
When searching for Old Coins in the overworld, keep an eye out for their small icon, which only becomes visible when you're in close proximity, unlike the more easily spotted Pyroxene. The rewards for Old Coins vary in utility, but by focusing on enjoying the game, you'll naturally accumulate them over time.
