Old Coins are a currency you can gather as you play through Dynasty Warriors: Origins, but when you first start to find them, the game will offer no clues as to what they do. They do become quite important, so it's a good idea to keep an eye out for them from the start of the game.
Old Coins can be used from Chapter 2 onward to purchase items in the Shui Jing Retreat in You Province after meeting Sima Hui near the city of Ji. You will need to complete the three "Suppression" battles for him to arrive. You can check how many Old Coins you have at any time by looking in the top right corner of the map screen. You will be able to buy the following items:
The values shown above are cumulative, so make sure you visit Sima Hui when you reach each benchmark to get your rewards.
You can get Old Coins by exploring the map. As you wander from region to region, make sure you walk all over the map, including areas that look like they are completely empty. In these places, you may find a glowing marker on the ground, which can be an Old Coin.
During key moments in the game or from performing various feats in battles, you can receive letters that contain Old Coins. Make sure you visit the Inns in any settlement often to check your letters and ensure you are gathering any Old Coins that people are sending you this way.
Another way to earn Old Coins is to try to complete the game's main objective, which is to increase the peace in the regions. As the game goes on, you will eventually earn Old Coins for doing this.
