| Coins are earned by playing games and taking part in special activities, such as [[Igloo]] and competitions. Players can use coins to buy [[color]]s, [[Puffle]]s, [[Puffle]] supplies, [[Clothes|Clothing]], [[Igloo Upgrades]], [[furniture]], and [[player card]] [[background | backgrounds]]. Coins can also be used to send [[post card]]s. However, [[Non-member|non members]] are only allowed limited use of their coins:

| == "Ten" coin ==
| |
| [[Image:Tencoin.jpg|thumb|A "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''

| *There is a Coin Glitch that can give you tons and tons of coins. This is done by going to your igloo just before the message pops up asking if you wish to play a game.

| |
| However, it should be noted that this glitch only works with [[Bean Counters]]. In fact, attempting it with [[DJ3K]] removes you from the server.
