Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld yields valuable rewards for future battles. While Pyroxene farming produces gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent.
Several methods exist for acquiring Old Coins, and you'll accumulate a substantial number (hundreds) throughout the game. Below, we detail their uses and acquisition methods.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main story. After starting Chapter 2, complete these main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
Completing these unlocks the Shui Jing Retreat near Ji City. Speak with Sima Hui there to exchange Old Coins for rewards. You can also manage bonds and review past interactions. Rewards are tied to specific Old Coin milestones; redeem them whenever possible.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, early farming isn't efficient. More methods unlock gradually. These include:
- Overworld exploration.
- Companion and officer Bond Interactions.
- Inn letters after story events.
- Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
Overworld Old Coins are represented by small, proximity-triggered icons, unlike Pyroxene. The rewards vary in utility; focus on gameplay, and the coins will accumulate naturally.
