Coin



The Coin is the main currency of Club Penguin. Fluffy the Fish is engraved on each coin, as well as a numeral one (1).

Games
Coins are earned by playing single or multiplayer games. Almost every game provides you with coins after playing it.

Competitions
Being selected in a competition will award you with coins (mostly 1000 coins). Competitions include clothing, igloo designing and scripture competition.

Special Roles/Salary
Being a Secret Agent or a Tour Guide will earn you 250 coins automatically (for each role) each month. The 'check' will be sent to these penguins monthly starting from May 1, 2009.

Coins are earned by playing games and taking part in special activities, such as Igloo and competitions. Players can use coins to buy colors, Puffles, Puffle supplies, Clothing, Igloo Upgrades, furniture, and player card backgrounds. Coins can also be used to send post cards. However, non members are only allowed limited use of their coins:
 * Buying Colours for the Avatar.
 * Buying Player Card Backgrounds.
 * Red & Blue Puffles.
 * Post Cards.
 * Food & Bathing supplies for Puffles.
 * Donation for the certain events, such as Coins for Change or Lighthouse Donation.

"Ten" coin


A "ten" coin is shaped like a normal Club Penguin coin but is worth 10 coins. It is also larger than a normal coin. It is found exclusively in the game Jet Pack Adventure. It may be a feasible hypothesis to make judgement that "Ten" coins are merely an item which can be traded for ten coins rather than a currency in itself.

Coins for Change
In December 2007 and 2008, there was a Coins for Change program. Here is what it was about:

''More than 2.5 million children donated in excess of 2 billion virtual coins they earned playing games on Club Penguin to support the environment, children's health or children in developing countries. Through their virtual donations, the kids directed how much of a $1 million cash donation went to three charitable organizations''
