Help with getting coins

Hey asulin , welcome in our forum. Nice to see you.

To your questions:

I would like to pay your attention to some catchwords as following:

- the mine is negligible, do it only for your own purpose

Last but not least, do it constantly and be patient. It will take some time, but you will success. Perhaps you're getting more advices from other members.

I wish you good luck and stamina, you'll get it!

I agree with planting and selling soybeans - always at full price. I did that a lot early on and made a good amount of coins that way. Also, i would say do not do sugar boats. Others may disagree. For me, I would say it makes the most sense to use sugar to makes products to sell full price in your rss. I did few boats or truck orders early on, always selling products full price in my rss instead.

If you stock all your machines overnight, there will be lots of nice things to sell in the morning, or later in the day.

For my part, I always wheated, and still do. You get good expansion material drops and can sell them - again, at full price - or expand your silo and barn. I think there is even a better market now for wheat than there used to be. If I was starting now, and wheating, I might sell a full rss of wheat at full price. I used to sell 10 wheat for 7 coins, and it sold well. Now I no longer need coins, so I just sell my wheat to the farm visitors because it’s easy. But I would say at your stage, never sell to the farm visitors at your farm house, always sell through your rss. And did we mention always full price?

To add to what donkeyfan said, I'd avoid trying to gain too much XP until you can catch up with the machines you need.

I can't remember what level you can open the town but personally I'd use that rather than trucking if you want to do a farm-based activity. First off the orders are generally smaller. Secondly, there's a time factor involved. Meaning you won't be immediately tempted to do another like you are with trucking. The town allows you in most cases to restock what you've served the visitor. Bear in mind though until you've gotten your town completely expanded and all the buildings maxed out there is a slightly lower reward for serving in the town compared to trucking. IMHO that's offset by the gains you can make from selling the special rewards you receive.

Also, be careful of being tempted to grow and sell fruits, both from bushes and trees. While the rewards are pretty high, unless you've got a plan for axes and saws (e.g. running Tom to fetch) you can get yourself into a world of hurt real fast with that method if you overdo it.

Personally I'd avoid things like spicy popcorn. There's a glut in the Daily Dirt as it is for that. I suspect there's a far bigger demand for something like cornbread, hamburgers and bacon pies. Even just making and selling bread will add up quickly and the item will sell fast and it's quick and easy to make.

Ack to blackbrit,

I forgot to say to avoid boat orders mostly. They are expensive and the reward doesn't fit the effort. Only exception is, when SC announces a special boat event with the possibility to gain double coins by filling the crates. Or alternatively, if you are in short supply of vouchers. But pay always attention to the required products. If they are too valuable or elaborate in production consider if you are willing to get them away.

Sometimes you have to make an agreement with yourself. Stay flexible.

Try to get a friend/neighbor and sell Max price. He/she sells you 10 products for 1 coin. —> repeat.

Stop doing boats and trucks, the rewards don't build many coins or XP. Plant and sell crops. Soy beans are your best as they grow fairly quickly and you can always sell at full price. You can easily make 50,000 coins in a day with soy beans.

There has been so much good advice here. Early on I focused on making coin instead of leveling up. I needed coin to buy machines that I knew were coming. I have always wheated and I ALWAYS sell at full price. There may be times of the day when selling wheat is easier than at other times of the day depending on how many bots are in the Daily Dirt. Wheating allows me to accumulate the needed tools to expand my barn and silo and land. Get into a neighborhood where you can team up with others. You are going to find that your farm has certain items that just come to you more often than others. For example I get three nails for every screw. Since I am in a neighborhood I swap my nails for a neighbors screws. It helps. If you see things in the Daily Dirt that are being sold cheap buy them. Then turn around and sell them in your RSS at full price. Be patient. This game is so much fun if you are patient.

asulin If time is a problem then yes as shepherdgirl wrote peppers are a good idea. But for regular game play when you can sit down and look at it often soybeans are a fantastic crop. They’ll always sell incredibly fast and the XP/coin return is pretty high.

As for trucking, I know a lot of people do this to level up and earn the high xp from the orders, but those same players are usually the ones that run into problems at higher levels for a lack of coins. Around the 35-55 level in particular the amount of new things that get thrown at you will overwhelm you if you don’t create a coin cushion. You’ll be leveling up so fast that you can’t afford to buy the machinery needed to fulfill orders. In general it is my opinion you want to be able to afford everything made available to you at the level it becomes available. Once you start leveling up with a growing backlog of production machines the game becomes frustrating and you won’t enjoy it as much. Especially nowadays there’s so much more in the game compared to when most of us started.

For years it’s been advice given by longtime players that slow and steady wins. It’s not because anyone wants to hold others back it’s that we’ve seen the disappointment and frustrations incurred by those who have charged ahead.

Ultimately of course the game is what you want it to be. If you obtain more enjoyment from filling truck orders instead of selling in the RSS then that’s what you should do. After all the game can be played in so many different ways and adapted as a player sees fit which is why players stick with it for years.

I will caution you though that in order for it all to work, one can’t really ignore any aspect of the game. While nothing is really obligatory, it does all serve a purpose. Filling boats gets you the vouchers you need to get the pets and make fishing lures. The pets will give you quite a few drops of special items. Playing the town and serving visitors gets you special items in pretty decent quantities if you play it wisely (especially saws and axes). Trucking will get you XP and coins. The RSS will get you coins and advertising the items will get you the visitors, and friends/followers you need to help you with some of the orders. It takes time but you’ll find a fine balance of what works best for you.

ETA. Also don’t ignore just filling flagged crates on boat orders in the Daily Dirt. Coins and XP are almost on a par with trucking. Plus it’s a good way to find farms to follow and befriend.

ETA #2. When I was at a low level I spent a lot of time working on fishing using the colored lures. I used to find with new fish and new sizes I would earn enough every week to hire Tom. I’d then either send him off for the highest coin value item I could to resell, fetch axes/saws or stock up on what I needed. 

<<<Why should I do soybeans instead of hot peppers? I dont think I have ao much time in the day to do those wheating and stuff so I prefer something that take more time and gives more coins for most of the time. About wheating, you are always wheating? You guys dont so other stuff like truckorders? Only selling on your RSS everytime? Its not one of the main goal of the game is just do truckorders? >>>


There are always pleny of hot peppers in the DD, soybeans go fast and always sell at full price. I made 78,576 coins in one day selling soybeans. If you're trying to earn coins you want to do what will earn you the most the fastest.

You asked about truck orders. Yes, I do truck orders when the XP is double and I then double that up with a bonus XP booster, same with boat orders and will also use a 3 crate booster. The only other time I do truck or boats is during a derby, so weekly with every derby. I do work my town every day to keep my barn going and earn XP. I have nearly 40 million coins so I no longer focus on earning mega coins. Your techniques and focus changes and your challenges become different as you move up in level.

rbcrewser gives you a lot of good advice. Slow and steady is better than trying to rush. You need to also manage your barn and silo size as the more machines you get the more crops you have to grow and products you need to make. Keeping everything balanced is the key to growing evenly and successfully without too much frustration. You have to do all aspects to achieve the different needs of your farm, but you specifically asked about getting coins quickly, and the best way to do that is to choose your crop and keep it going in your RSS.

I will try soybeans if I will have time to that, I play this game only when I have time during the day I dont see myself playing 24/7 wheating and now Im selling wheat for 10 coins to 10 wheat and it wouldnt sold yet and I bought like 100 corn for 10 coins and sell it for full price now and it doesn't sold yet so my RSS is stuck right now.
And about equipment to upgrade silo and barn so you just making corps like wheat or soybeans? Sell equipment you have and keep the ones you need to upgrade with?

What is this town you all mentioned? What level it will be open to me?

From the Hay Day Wiki:


The town is a game feature which gives players a new area to play in and the opportunity to gain coins, experience points, and reputation points by filling town visitors' orders.

It can be unlocked at experience level 34 by repairing the train station located on the farm.

From reputation level 3 and up, it lets players interact with the sanctuary.


The Wiki is a wonderful reference guide.  You can get to it from the link at the left on your dashboard. 

I hope this helps  :)

I'm in agreement with you Lynn. I knew there was something about you I liked. Well besides your wit, useful knowledge and overall sense of humor.
