Dragon Quest IV[]

In Dragon Quest IV, mini medals are collected by a king who lives in Minikin's Dominion.

In the NES version, a total of 32 medals could be found, which were used as a separate currency for the prizes offered by the medal king. A player could get more than one of the same prize offered by the medal king; however, in order to get the best prize the player could not buy any other prize, as it cost 32 medals.

Medals Prize
1 Staff of divine wrath
4 Happy hat
6 Miracle sword
20 Liquid metal helm

In the DS remake, the number of medals and prizes earned was changed to follow the system used in more recent Dragon Quest games:

25 Magical skirt
30 Staff of divine wrath
34 Kerplunk bracer
38 Miracle sword
43 Happy hat

In the DS version it isn't possible to obtain the Gringham Whip until Chapter 6 as the Immigrant Town can't be completed until that chapter. The Mobile, Android and iOS versions of the game accelerates the completion of the town, thus allowing all prizes to be obtained before ending the main game/Chapter 5.
