User blog comment:Dustpirate/Do Stores become unnecessary?/@comment-75.120.198.201-20120616033135

I am a prime example of a level 50 that loves coins!!!! When I was lower level, I bought 130 Holiday Stores and cranked out coins like mad! Check out my village -- "Trucey" and look at my stores. Boring for now, but here are a few quick stats: I generate almost 1,000,000 coins every 4 hours (180,000 just from the coin mini game), and 30 crystals a day. The hidden benefit here.... XP is still being collected, too. When TV decides to raise the level cap, I'll most certainly hit it instantantly (like I've done previously). I won't stop the shops until I've hit full expansion. I hope that helps with a little insight into why I am sticking with shops!
