'''Minecoins''' are the digital in-game currency used to make purchases in the [[Minecraft:Marketplace]] and [[Minecraft:Character Creator]] platforms. It is also shared with the {{MCL|Marketplace}} in {{MCL}}.

[[File:MCoin.png|22px|link=|class=pixel-image]] Minecoins are depicted as a yellow coin with an M in the middle which most of all Bedrock platforms uses. Meanwhile, [[File:Token.png|22px|link=|class=pixel-image]] Tokens are light, matte blue and have a large T in the middle that only PlayStation consoles use.

== Obtaining ==
Minecoins are acquired via in-app purchases using the player's local currency, physical or digital redemption cards purchased from retailers, the Microsoft Rewards program, or directly from [[Minecraft:Minecraft.net]], while Tokens are acquired via in-app purchases using the player's local currency and physical or digital redemption cards purchased from retailers. However, Minecoins cannot be converted into Tokens and vice-versa.<ref>{{citation|url=https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/27554163215885-What-are-Minecraft-Tokens|title=What are Minecraft Tokens?|website=help.minecraft.net}}</ref>

It can also be bought inside the [[Minecraft:Legends:Marketplace|''Minecraft Legends'' Marketplace]] and the in-game currency syncs in ''Bedrock Edition'' as well.

As of [[Minecraft:Launcher 3.18.26]], Minecoins can now be purchased directly from the [[Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher]].

== Usage ==
Minecoins are used to purchase content from the Marketplace, such as [[Minecraft:world]]s, [[Minecraft:skin pack]]s, [[Minecraft:add-on]]s, [[Minecraft:Texture pack (downloadable content)|texture packs]], [[Minecraft:mash-up pack]]s, as well as character parts and [[Minecraft:emote]]s inside the [[Minecraft:Character Creator]].

Minecoins can be also used in ''Minecraft Legends'' to buy [[Minecraft:Legends:Skin|skins and textures]], [[Minecraft:Legends:Lost Legend|Lost Legend]]s, and [[Minecraft:Legends:Myth|Myth]]s.

=== Cross-buy currency ===
Since ''Bedrock Edition'' and ''Minecraft Legends'' uses the same currency and shared similar infrastructure (using the ''Bedrock Edition'' Marketplace), they can be used in both games. This means one can get Minecoins from the former and spend it on the latter (and vice-versa), as long as they use the same Microsoft account for both games. However, the contents from one game does not carry to the other.
