Coins (which look like in the game) are the main currency in Subway Surfers. Coins can be obtained by many ways, for example, collecting it while running or receiving it from mystery boxes. With enough coins, players can buy characters like King, Zoe and Prince K, or hoverboards like Panda, Hot Rod and Lowrider. However, some characters or hoverboards like Tricky, Yutani and Fresh use certain tokens instead of coins to be obtained. Coins are also used to upgrade and buy power-ups and skip missions.

Trivia

If players are in need of coins, the Coin Magnet will help collect coins in every lane (for a limited time), making it a very useful power-up in collecting coins.
- The Jetpack is also good in collecting coins as coins appear in the air when using it while the Super Sneakers help collect coins under them while jumping, and don't forget the Power Jumper which gives them coins when jumping high in the sky.
Coins appear in 3 types of trails, a normal straight trail, an arch trail (requires the player to jump) and a wavy trail (requires the player to switch lanes).
Other ways of getting coins are buying them with in-app purchases (using real money) or when the player's Facebook/ Game Center friend plays the game and had 25 runs.
- There are also easier ways to get coins, like watching a sponsored video and subscribing to Kiloo and SYBO Games' Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
- There is an in-app purchase where they can get double coins for every coin they collect while running for $4.99, making it easier to buy limited characters and hoverboards.
- Sometimes in-app purchases have sales which lets them buy a certain amount of coins in a much cheaper price.
- A starter pack was also added during the Mumbai edition that rewards the player 7,000 and some keys and hoverboards for $0.99.
Coins can also increase players' run score, which makes it essential in getting highscores.
- The points gained from coins are counted in the following equation:
  - number of coins x score multiplier x 2.
  - A simpler way to look at it: each coin is worth 54 points. If they only grab one coin in a run, then at the end of it they'll get 54 points added to your score. Meanwhile the score multiplier is at work boosting their score while you run.
So far, all limited characters cost 95,000 and limited hoverboards cost 50,000.
