The Coin is a distraction item that appears in Hitman: Blood Money.
Appearance[]
The coin is identified as a ten cent coin from the United States of America, but it features an unknown design. The obverse features the portrait of a bald figure, while the reverse shows the regular Great Seal of the United States.
Usage[]
Agent 47 possesses an infinite amount of coins in his inventory to use in distracting or manipulating NPCs. Unlike other items, it is used by pressing the Throw button, instead of the Fire button. Thrown coins cannot be retrieved by the player or by NPCs. There are three methods to use the coin:
Throw Method[]
The most commonly used method. To do this, stay out of sight of the NPC and throw a coin near them. They will walk towards the noise and investigate it. This method is best used for sneaking past NPCs.
Drop Method[]
This method is done by approaching near the NPC and dropping a coin. They will stop whatever they're doing and investigate the noise. This method is useful for luring NPCs to secluded areas and gaining access to locked doors in public.
Hold Method[]
To do this method, press and hold the Throw button and get in the line of sight. NPCs who see the player will stop whatever they're doing and continuously stare at the player until the player throws the coin. This is useful for preventing NPCs from leaving an area, slowing them down, making them face the other way, or interfering with their duties.
Trivia[]
- A coin also features in Hitman: Absolution, though it only appears in cutscenes and cannot be used as an in-game item. This coin is an out-of-circulation 1889 Morgan silver dollar, and is given to 47 by Diana Burnwood during the events of A Personal Contract alongside a letter. Presumably the coin symbolizes Diana's upfront payment, and Agent 47 keeps the coin as a reminder of his contract to protect Victoria.
- It is likely that the coin's appearance in HITMAN™ and HITMAN™ 2 is based on this dollar coin.
