In Expert Mode, enemies can pick up coins dropped by enemies or players.Dying from the player's own projectile after having it reflected by an enemy (such as a Selenian ) will also result in coins being dropped.Forms of accidental death, such as fall damage or Chaos State, will cause coins to drop.This includes accidentally blowing oneself up with explosives.Being killed by a player-wielded weapon will not cause the player to drop any coins in Softcore, even if recently damaged by an enemy.Upon player death in Mediumcore or Hardcore, all coins are dropped, regardless of how the player died.If the player has 10, 5, 8, or 10 will be dropped.

For example, if the player possesses 1 in one stack, it will be dropped.

Upon a player's death in Classic (Softcore ) difficulty (the default mode), half of all ( three quarters of all) ( all) of the stacks of coins in a player's inventory are dropped, rounded up to the nearest whole coin.Coins may be spent in NPC transactions directly from the player's banks.Deposit All does place coins, but if the chest is already full when pressing Deposit All, higher denominations may be destroyed if a stack for that coin does not exist. In the early game, before receiving a bank, it may be inevitable to store coins in a chest.(See also the warning below regarding Deposit All.) Stacks of 100 coins should then be manually crafted into the next denomination.

However, coins do not auto-combine when manually moved into a storage item if there is no room in the storage item, some will be left in the player's hand or coin slots.Using "Quick Stack" (or "Quick Stack To Nearby Chests") on a storage item, like a chest, will treat coins like any other item, and will not move coins from the player's coin slots.Using "Quick Stack To Nearby Chests" will send coins to nearby banks, combining them into higher denominations where possible.All coins moved, and all coin stacks in the bank, will be combined into the highest possible denominations and minimum number of stacks. Using "Quick Stack" on an open Piggy Bank, Money Trough, Safe or Defender's Forge (collectively, a "bank"), gives special behavior: If there is already at least one coin (of any value) in the bank, all coins in the player's main inventory and coin slots will be moved to the bank.Similarly, a player holding 96 and picking up another 15, will end up with 1 11.For example, if the player picks up 100, they will end up with 1 in their inventory instead.Coins picked up from the environment, or "shift-clicked" from a storage item, will automatically combine into their higher denominations, if possible.Inside the player's inventory, coins have their own special slots, although it is possible to move them into normal inventory slots.
