This illustrated guide will help you find every coin hidden in The Last of Us Part II, allowing you to earn the trophies “Mint Condition” and “Numismatist.”
The guide is broken down by chapter and is presented in chronological order. Each entry includes the state featured on the coin and a description of where to find it, followed by one or more images to help you track it down. Where applicable, images are presented in chronological order—the early ones will show you the general area or route you’ll need to take, while the last will show the exact location of the coin. You can the search function of your browser (usually Ctrl+F or Command+F on a desktop) to easily navigate to a specific chapter.
Spoiler warning: While the guide does not directly discuss any events of the game’s story, the section headings and images do spoil some locations and some of the included screenshots may inadvertently spoil which characters are present in different sections of the story. For that reason, we recommend not using this guide until you’ve completed an initial playthrough. Proceed at your own risk.

Immediately after jumping down, turn around and face the open door labeled 1107. Jump across the gap, and you’ll find the quarter through the door on a shelf to the right. (You’ll know you’re on the right level if your character says, “I hate this building,” and your companion says, “Keep going. We’re almost at the street.” If you reach the broken window through which you can see daylight and the Ferris Wheel, you’ve gone too far.)
Wisconsin
When you drop down the elevator shaft and shimmy out the doors, you’ll see a vending machine. Smash it to break the glass, and the coin will drop into the return slot, where you can pick it up.
Rhode Island
A short while later, you’ll exit the building and come to a rooftop bar. The coin is under the bar on a shelf, on the part closest to you when you enter.

Montana
You’ll come to an area where you see children being evacuated and will need to fight or evade some enemies. From the start of this area, head to the building ahead on the left. Go around the side and climb up using the stacked objects. (There’s also a ladder on the backside of the building.) Once you’re in the loft, head to the lookout area facing back towards the start of the area. The coin is on a ledge next to some bags of grain.
