How to Get Free Coins in Travel Town
Coins are the key to upgrading your town. This guide will show you every method to earn coins faster and more efficiently.

Why Coins are Essential
In Travel Town, Gold Coins are the primary currency you'll use to make tangible progress. While energy lets you play the game, coins are what allow you to *win* it. The main goal of Travel Town is to restore the town to its former glory, and you do this by spending coins to upgrade buildings like the Lighthouse, the Cafe, the Shop, and more. Each upgrade costs a significant amount of coins, so knowing how to earn them efficiently is crucial.
Best Methods for Earning Free Coins
Here are all the ways you can fill your coffers with gold, ranked from most to least effective.
1. Completing Townsperson Tasks
This is the most fundamental way to earn coins. Fulfilling the orders on your task list is your main job. The higher the level of the item you deliver, the more coins you will receive as a reward. Make it your top priority to always be working towards completing a task. It's a steady and reliable income stream.
2. Participating in Special Events
Special events are a goldmine. The milestone rewards for events are often packed with huge coin bundles, far more than you could earn from regular tasks in the same amount of time. Always participate in events and try to reach as many milestones as possible. The grand prizes for completing an event often include the largest coin rewards in the entire game.
3. Selling High-Level Items
This is a powerful but often overlooked method. Any item on your board can be sold by dragging it to the "Sell" button. While low-level items are worth very little, high-level items from long merge chains can be sold for a massive amount of coins. This is an excellent strategy if you have extra items that you don't need for a current task. Our guide to selling items provides more detail on which items give the best return.
4. Opening Chests
You will receive various chests as rewards. While some contain producer parts or energy, many contain coins. Always try to merge chests of the same type to their maximum level before opening them to get the biggest possible payout.
5. The Free Shop Box
Don't forget the simple things! The free gift box in the shop refreshes every few hours and always contains a small amount of coins in addition to energy. Make it a habit to collect this whenever you log in.
6. Achievements and Leveling Up
While not a primary source, both leveling up and completing long-term achievements can sometimes reward you with a nice bundle of coins. These act as a pleasant bonus for your continued progress.
By combining these methods, you can ensure a steady flow of coins to constantly upgrade your town. Focus on completing tasks, always participate in events, and don't be afraid to sell your valuable, unneeded items for a quick cash injection. Happy building!
