Hitman (Series)

''"This room. This coin. There's a coin for everyone. And a time, and a place." - Agent 47'' In the Hitman series of stealth action games, you play as the world's greatest assassin, Agent 47.

Armed with deadly weapons, possessing a cunning intellect and a stunning impersonation ability, the player takes out major public and private figures.

However, the most important pieces of Agent 47's arsenal are... his coins.

Usage of Coins
Coins appear in Hitman: Blood Money and the World of Assassination Trilogy with similar uses in the two depictions.

Blood Money
An endless inventory item, the player can use these as a distraction tactic towards any NPC by throwing, dropping, or simply holding one in a throwing gesture.

Once coins are dropped or thrown, they cannot be retrieved.

World of Assassination Trilogy
In these titles, the player can hold up to three coins at one time, with them also being used as a distraction tool.

The distinction from Blood Money is that they can be picked up by the player or NPCs once released. Additionally, they are used for payment and as a reward in all three titles. Examples of coin usage are:


 * Inserted into a vending machine to recieve a soda can.
 * Inserted into a payphone to start a phone call.
 * Purchasing cloth as part of a mission.
 * Paying for private transportation out of the mission area.
 * Receiving as payment for services during a specific mission.

Finally, coins can be found in the environment to replenish one's inventory and can often be used to affect certain small objects in the play area.

Types of Coins
Nine different coin designs are featured across the four games in which they appear, with 7 of them being rewards for performing certain tasks.

Despite the visual, physical and material differences between the different coins, they all have the same value and are accepted worldwide as currency without question.
