What does 🪙 mean in a text message?▼
Nothing beats a shiny gold coin, representing money, currency, cryptocurrency, saving, and wealth. Coins are the oldest form of standardized currency in human history. Use for money, cryptocurrency, saving coins, tipping, or treasure references. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What does 🪙 represent in different cultures?▼
Object emoji can carry different cultural associations. While the Coin emoji has a standard meaning defined by Unicode, its connotations may vary — some objects are everyday items in one culture but symbolic in another. Context and audience matter.
Is 🪙 supported on older devices?▼
Support depends on the Unicode version. Older emoji (Unicode 6.0-8.0, roughly 2010-2015) work on virtually all modern devices. Newer additions may show as empty squares □ on devices that haven't updated. Check the Unicode version listed above.

On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:coin:` to insert the Coin emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
Is 🪙 a newer emoji?▼
The Coin emoji was added in Unicode 13.0, making it relatively new. If someone sees a blank square □ instead of this emoji, their device probably needs a software update.
