Lucky Coin

The Lucky Coin is an extremely rare Hardmode accessory that while equipped causes enemies to drop extra coins when damaged. The Lucky Coin is dropped by Pirates during a Pirate Invasion at a rate of 1/4000 (0.025%) or from the Flying Dutchman at a rate of 1/200 (0.5%), but is not dropped by Parrots.

With the Lucky Coin equipped, there is a 1/5 (20%) chance that 1 to 10 extra coins will drop each time the player damages an enemy. Each time extra coins drop, the following probabilities determine the coin type:


 * 89.1% chance for copper coins
 * 9.9% chance for silver coins
 * 1% chance for gold coins

Tips

 * Use the Slime Staff and Tiki Armor. Against stronger enemies (like Mimics), the baby slime summoned by the staff will attack rapidly, but only do 1 damage per hit. This offers more chances for coins to drop. Using this tactic during a Pirate Invasion can easily produce platinum coins per invasion.
 * In expert mode, enemies have increased health which means the amount of platinum coins can skyrocket anywhere from . Enemies also pick up coins in expert mode, however, so letting anything escape can reduce the amount gathered dramatically.
 * Fight weaker bosses like the Wall of Flesh as they will not deal much damage but have lots of health.
