Currency

There are two types of currency in Tiny Village that you will use to purchase dinosaurs, decorations, stores and land expansions (based on the assigned price). The first kind is gold or coins. TinyCo states that you can progress through the game free by only purchasing coin items from the village store. There are three ways to get Coins:

Collect taxes from one of your stores or decorations. Each has a tax revenue, some might pay more or take longer to pay. Tips. Other people can give you tips when they visit your village. Each tip is worth 10 coins, so you don't usually make a lot of money by tips. Buy Coins. You can buy coins with real money from the app store (there are sales or promotions).

The second type of currency is called Crystals. Crystals are special and are much more harder to earn. You can use crystals to purchase rare and limited edition dinosaurs, decorations or stores; to instantly expand your land; to instantly feed a dinosaur or to progress quicker in the game. There are three ways to get Crystals:

Complete challenges. Not all challenges result in the reward of crystals but some do. Collect from Crystal decorations or stores. There are only a few and were only available for a limited time when introduced, but watch as they sometimes are re-introduced for a limited time. Buy Crystals. Like coins, you can buy crystals with real money from the app store (there are sales or promotions). Crystals are rare so use them wisely.
