Play Coins are an in-game currency for the Nintendo 3DS which can be used to buy items, game modes, or characters in certain games. They are earned by taking 100 steps per coin when a 3DS system is closed but still in Sleep Mode. A maximum of 10 coins a day can be earned, and only 300 can be held at one time.
