Apart from harvesting them from fixed spots while on the world map, you can get Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors Origins by opening letters, unlocking bond cutscenes/events, and as rewards for reaching Peace milestones in Provinces. You can also get large amounts of them by completing requests and Ultimate Warrior Challenges.

The challenges will become available as part of the story missions when playing at Ultimate Warrior difficulty. Just keep an eye on which challenges will reward you with the coins. For example, while completing the Battle of Luxang Challenge will reward you with 10 coins, completing the Battle of Xiapi’s will allow you to unlock Lu Bu as a playable companion and get his Halberd.

How to unlock the Ultimate Warrior difficulty

You can unlock the Ultimate Warrior Difficulty in DW Origins by completing the game’s main storyline at least once. Your chosen path will not matter. Completing the game will also allow you to return to any unlocked point in its story while resting.

Unfortunately, you can only unlock Shui Jing Retreat during the game’s second chapter. Don’t worry, though, as the retreat will be unlocked automatically as part of the main storyline, more specifically shortly after you meet Yuanhua. Once at the retreat, you will be able to receive the rewards below by reaching their respective coins milestones and then heading to Old Coins.
