Koins

Koins in each gem color: ruby, gold, jade, sapphire, silver, platinum, and onyx.

Koins are the primary units of currency in the Mortal Kombat universe, used as a medium of exchange for the trade of goods and services. Koins, though working as the main unit of currency in the Mortal Kombat world, mainly serve as the medium of exchange to purchase and unlock items from the Krypt, which may include concept art, images, videos, arenas, characters and their alternate costumes. Each koin is divided into six types based on the mineral or metal of which they are comprised, which are sapphire Koin Sapphire, onyx Koin Onyx, jade Koin Jade, ruby Koin Ruby, platinum Koin Platinum and gold Koin Gold, though the gold Koin is becoming more commonly shown in recent games.

Every koin, no matter the value/color, features the Mortal Kombat logo.

Uses[]

Inhabitants of each realm usually use koins as a payment for services they otherwise cannot accomplish themselves, for favors, or to purchase goods. Institutions that allow this process are called markets. Markets are located in every realm, but are most notable in Earthrealm. In local villages, the typical market sells food such as meat, watermelon, and bread, valuable items such as jewelry and vases, and services such as locksmiths. People selling their own goods, such as fish is not uncommon as well. Each koin has its own substantial value, and can only be used to purchase a good or service unless it requires a certain amount of the specified koin. For instance, if a Krypt item requires 1 Jade koin, only one Jade koin can be used to purchase the item.

Treasure Chest

A Treasure Chest in Earthrealm

In the Mortal Kombat universe, koins are often scattered throughout every realm, possibly as a result of the carelessness of their former holders. Koins, of random color and value, are also commonly found in chests, lying about in every realm. Treasure chests and koins also appear to have magical attributes, as chests containing koins are known to appear at particular times of the month, day, or week, or after challenges are completed.

Chests along with Koins were also featured and included in the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon as well. Contents within the chests ranged from koins to extra options for Kreate-A-Fighter mode. If a chest would contain an alternate costume but the costume in question has already been obtained, the chest will contain a certain amount of Koins instead. All chests except the golden Elder Gods armor chests visually contain Koins inside.

Players may also earn additional Koins in MK: Armageddon, Mortal Kombat (2011), or in Mortal Kombat X by performing combos and Fatalities during gameplay.
