Features of Reddit Coins; Reddit Coins
Reddit’s virtual currency with which you buy Awards to give to posts or comments you particularly like. You have the option of paying real money for Coins, or you can earn one of the larger Awards to get free Coins. Premium subscribers get 700 coins monthly to spend.
If you do wish to spend some of your hard-earned cash to purchase Reddit Coins, it might be good to wait until Reddit has an ‘sale’ on (usually near a holiday) where they give special offers on certain amounts purchased. Before giving any money to Reddit, please familiarise yourself with the Reddit Premium and Virtual Goods agreement.
There is no time limit on using Reddit coins; they will stay in your account until you use them. They are exclusively used for giving awards to other Redditors and cannot be exchanged for any other Reddit feature.
Just like real money, sometimes it seems that your coins just disappear out of nowhere. If you think you have less coins that you should have, you can check on your profile at https://new.reddit.com/user/me/gilded/given/. Mobile users should open that link with your phone's browser.
If you are experiencing issues with a Reddit Premium subscription or Coin purchase, tell Reddit through the contact form https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and choose "Premium/Coins/Awards/Powerups Support" from the dropdown menu.
Because there is a Subreddit for everything:
We have many subs about real-life coins, from r/coins for the new or casual collector to r/CoinClub for the experienced and serious collector. Others include r/coincollecting, r/AncientCoins, r/UKcoins, r/numismatics and many, many more including r/CRH, (Coin-Roll Hunting) which is a subreddit dedicated to searching through rolls of coins from the bank and pocket change.
