You're a first timer, aren't you? Listen up. The green coins you find periodically are Frog Coins. Accumulate them and you can buy items atTadpole Pond.”

Frog Coins are a special type ofcoin inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Unlike regular coins, a Frog Coin makes a deep, musical clunking sound when picked up. Frog Coins usually appear the same size asbig coins, though they appear small in a few locations, such as theLava Blubble room inBooster Tower. Frog Coins are hidden in severalHidden Treasures and are given during some minigames by performing well.

  • At theMidas River falls, four Frog Coins appear outside the caves. After thebarrel-jumping event, the player can also exchange 60 recently obtained coins for one Frog Coin. By collecting 100 coins in one session, the player is awarded five Frog Coins.
  • By completing theSky Bridge's Expert course inLand's End, the player gets a Frog Coin.
  • Collecting aGolden Beetle during theBeetle Race and giving it to theSnifster atBeetles Are Us rewards the player with one Frog Coin.
  • Successfully scaling the Tall Cliff in Land's End in under twelve seconds (eleven in theNintendo Switch remake) rewards the player with one Frog Coin; scaling the cliff in under eleven seconds (ten in the remake) rewards the player with five. This can be done an unlimited number of times.
  • AtGrate Guy's Casino, the player can get one Frog Coin by lining up three symbols in the slot machine. The player can also bet one Frog Coin in Blackjack. By winning, they win an additional Frog Coin.

Jumping on aWiggler consecutively ten times on the field in theForest Maze rewards the player with one Frog Coin; likewise, the player earns a Frog Coin for jumping on aShogun in the desert whirlpools consecutively three times.

The player can sell theBright Card to an NPC in theMarrymore shop for up to ten Frog Coins, but to buy it back, the player must pay fifteen Frog Coins.

There are twoshops that sell items in exchange for Frog Coins. The first is the "Frog Coin" emporium atTadpole Pond, and the second is a small shop set up byFrogfucius' Student inSeaside Town. Both shops sell rare items in exchange for Frog Coins. Aunique Frog Coin gets stolen fromMallow byCroco. After Mallow reclaims that Frog Coin, he uses it to buy aCricket Pie for theFrog Sage.

Baby Fat lays an egg containing a Frog Coin when he is fed a sufficient number ofYoshi Cookies.

In theNintendo Switch remake, "Special Enemies" are guaranteed to drop one Frog Coin when the player defeats them. InBooster Pass, the player can purchase missingMonster List entries from the Monster List Agent for three Frog Coins each.
