The Lucky Coin is an extremely rare Hardmode accessory that causes enemies to drop extra coins when equipped. 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

Notes

• On average, 6 9 will drop each time the effect occurs.
• Extra coins can drop from damage caused by player-placed traps in singleplayer, but can't in multiplayer.
• Extra coins will not drop from damage return effects, such as those provided by Turtle armor or Thorns Potion.
• Entities that don't normally drop coins, like Critters, Statue-spawned enemies, or Meteor Heads during Hardmode, will still not drop coins even with the Lucky Coin equipped.
• The Lucky Coin is very rare. It takes an average of 33-34 complete Pirate Invasions before it drops.
• It is possible to get a Lucky Lucky Coin, with the modifier being Lucky, then the item's name.

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 −3 platinum coins per invasion.
• In expert mode, enemies have increased health which means the amount of platinum coins can skyrocket anywhere from −15.
• Fight weaker bosses like the Wall of Flesh as they will not deal much damage but have lots of health.
