In some video games, there's a normal currency which can be obtained easily through regular gameplay. Along with that, there's another currency that are a lot more difficult to acquire, and are usually achieved by completing special quests, participating in events, leveling up, etc. This second can then be used to purchase more effective equipment, better cosmetics, boosts or other useful bonuses. This forces the players to either grind and spend countless of hours in the game to accumulate enough currency to buy what they want, or pay real money in order to earn them more quickly. Some games may offer players to watch ads and/or download other games/apps to acquire some of the premium currency instead of paying real money. Often found in Allegedly Free Games or those running on a Freemium model. Sometimes overlaps with Global Currency Exception. |

Genshin Impact has multiple tiers of premium currencies. The most common are the Primogems, which are your main currency for investing in the game's gacha mechanics. While they can be earned in-game by completing daily commissions, solving puzzles, opening treasure chests, obtaining achievements, participating in limited-time events, etc., you can also buy them with real money with various Microtransactions, and like with many gacha games, you get more that way. Next are the Genesis Crystals, which are purely premium and can only be bought with real money. They can be converted into Primogems via Crystal exchange or they can be used to buy alternate character costumes from Version 1.6 onward. Finally, there are the Fates, which are the primary currency for Wish banners. These can be bought with Primogems or earned through other means like character ascension rewards, and there are two types of Fates: the Acquainted Fates (which go to the permanent standard banner), and the Intertwined Fates (which go to the limited event character and weapon banners). | |

Star Trek Online: Dilithium & Zen. Dilithium Ore can be earned through various ingame tasks, and then manually refined into actual Dilithium at a fixed amount per day. Zen can either be purchased with real money, or traded for Dilithium on the ingame Exchange. You thus technically don't need to spend a penny to get items from the Zen store, but there's far more Dilithium in circulation than there is Zen which limits the practicality of actually gaining Zen by trading Dilithium. | |

The Battle Cats: In addition to XP, which you use to buy and level up your cat troops and obtain by simply beating levels, there's also Cat Food. You can only get Cat Food in very slow ways: real-time Gamatoto expeditions, a single can per ad watched, or one-time bonuses during events. Cat Food can be spent on Rare Cat Capsules, or troops from a set of specific "Special" units. | |

Bakery Blitz utilizes two types of currencies, coins and crystals. Players are encouraged to make real-money purchases of both — but while coins can be earned in the course of normal gameplay (beating and replaying levels), crystals are much harder to accumulate. Without purchasing them directly, crystals can only be won in small amounts by completing special, one-time only challenges in the game stages. Coins and crystals both are needed to upgrade basic bakery equipment and ingredients, but advancing to a new stage means starting over with first-level equipment and ingredients. | |

Stardew Valley: Qi Gems are are a form of currency distinct from regular money, that can only be obtained by trading Golden Walnuts, completing weekly quests found in Mr Qi's challenge room, or as a rare drop from monsters killed in either the mines after the shrine of challenge is activated, or in the cavern during the Skull Cavern Invasion quest. In return, they can be traded in for some of the best items and crafting recipes in the game. | |

But Subscribers (those who make a small monthly donation to the site in Real Life) have access to Jems, which can buy a lot of additional outfits and weapons; plus, these are the only way to buy most of the Quests you can go in with your group. | |

Sonic Runners (now defunct), like the above game, also uses red-star rings as such currency. Players can use them to play roulette (used to earn new characters, Chao, and buddies) or exchange for rings, which are regular currency. Red-star rings can be earned by completing daily challenges, episodes, participating in events, or rarely during runs and boss fights. | |

South Park: Phone Destroyer: The standard currency, "Cartman Coins," can be acquired in bulk by winning matches. The premium currency is a form of in-game Cash, which you only get in measly amounts, but can be spent on more valuable things, like entire card packs, extra chances at Challenge Mode, or the Premium Battle Pass that scores you extra rewards from the Battle Pass. PVP tickets aren't as valuable as Cash, but are slightly more valuable than Coins as they can purchase outfits and special card packs. | |

Disco Zoo: Regular coins, constantly flowing in from your zoo exhibits, are used for basic gameplay — going on rescue missions and buying new vehicles (once you've got enough animals in your zoo). Discobux, rarely acquired from missions, visitors, and events, can be used to hurry construction, make extra search attempts on rescue missions, and buy vehicles without meeting the zoo size requirement. All currencies can be bought in the shop, but it's pretty clear the game wants you to buy Discobux. | |

FarmVille has two types of currency: Farm Coins and Farm Cash. Farm Coins are used to purchase most of the more mundane in-game items, animals, trees and crops, and are earned through routine farm work — harvesting crops, collecting the various animals' produce and selling items will all yield enough farm coins to afford whatever a player might wind up needing. Farm Cash, which can be used to buy the nicer decorations and very high-quality trees and animals, usually ones only available during the various in-game events, can only be earned in small amounts by leveling up or performing in-game quests — or by shelling out real-world cash. | |

Crystals are slowly earned through various in-game achievements, but can be purchased in bulk using real money. They can be spent on certain items and currencies for other purchase types, but their main use is for the game's gacha mechanic. B-Chips can only be acquired by buying in bulk using real money. They're used for a variety of premium purchases, such as bulk item packages in the game's store, coupons that are spent to get rare outfits for Valkyries, premium outfits that become available in events, and game supplements like new music or themes for the main screen interface. |

Castle Cats and Dungeon Dogs: Both games have Gems as a premium currency. A couple can be earned per day, but they're needed for many things like upgrading space to store your dogs/cats, and buying/crafting some heroes (which costs at least 300 gems), so it's much easier to buy Gems with real money. | |

Ace Fishing has the unsubtly named Cash, which you can either buy using real money, or try to earn through leveling up, catching Boss fishes or completing certain quests. In-game Cash rewards offers just a pittance of the currency (not to mention, it's very rare to actually come across the Boss fishes and/or Cash-giving quests), while the items that require Cash to purchase (i.e. the best equipment in the game) can cost hundreds or even thousands of them. | |

All three of Wargaming.net's "arcade simulator" games—World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes have a "silver" currency earned by playing the game, and a "gold" currency awarded by ranked and clan battle victories or purchased with real money. The perks obtained with gold vary from Pay To Win bonuses like the gold ammo in World Of Tanks, to "Pay to Grind Faster" mechanics like conversion of XP from one vehicle to another, to the acquisition of premium vehicles (some of which are debatably Pay To Win as well). | |

Sonic Dash uses red-star rings as premium currency; they can be only earned by catching them on daily first runs, completing missions, or buying them with real money. Red-star rings can be used to buy new characters or revive after dying. | |

Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen utilizes two main currencies, gold and diamonds. Gold is won by completing and replaying stages, and is used to upgrade skills, purchase clothing in the main shop, and to craft new items. Diamonds are also used in the shop, and can also purchase extra stamina, gold, and stage re-play attempts. Additionally, diamonds are the only currency that can purchase extra re-play attempts in limited stylist battling events and extra "pulls" in lottery-type events. It's possible to collect about 65 diamonds a day while remaining free-to-play, but with weekly events that run between 500 and 5,000 diamonds to complete (and new content being introduced all the time), players are often encouraged to make real-money purchases of diamonds. | |

Clash of Clans has two: Dark elixir, which can only be obtained by players of a high enough level and is used for its own assortment of troops and spells that regular elixir can't buy. Gems, which can only be obtained through achievements or (rare) random drops or paying real money. They don't unlock any special features, but they can be used to speed up upgrades, boost collection of other forms of loot, and replace other forms of loot if not enough is available to buy something. |

Neko Atsume has two types of fish-based currency: Normal gray fish and gold fish. Both types of fish can be obtained from cats as gifts; however, gold fish is remarkably rarer and can be bought with real money. You can also exchange 500 normal fish for 10 gold fish. | |

The Elder Scrolls Online has gold earned in-game, and two types of premium currency: One is "Crowns", the currency used in the cash shop, obtained by spending real money (including subscribing to the game); these let you buy cosmetic items, shortcut items (e.g. merchant assistant that has limited functionality compared to in-game bankers), and DLC. The rarer type of premium currency is Crown Gems. These are obtained only by purchasing Crown Crates (a box that gives you 4 random items), and either trading your consumable prizes from them for 1 gem per card, or getting a duplicate costume/pet/etc. (in which case the amount of gems is based on the item's rarity). These gems can then be used to buy an item from the Crown Crates outright, for 16-400 gems depending on which rarity tier it's in. |

Toontown: Corporate Clash: Gumballs are much more rare than Jellybeans. The main way to get them is by doing your Daily Tasks, but you also can also earn them by fighting bosses or doing Kudos tasks after you've already hit Rank 10. You can spend Gumballs on exclusive cosmetics and limited-time Experience Boosters. | |

In addition to gold coins, Alice in the Mirrors of Albion features Diamonds and Cash: Diamonds are typically used to buy food (to fill up the Freemium Timer), special amulets, chests, weapons, and special keys to unlock new locations. They can be obtained in-game from leveling up, doing street patrols, and completing certain quests, but the amount obtained from the gameplay is rarely enough to buy the more useful items. Of course, paying real money would remedy that. The second currency is "Cash", which is used in the Mirror World for the same purpose as diamonds (i.e. speed up timer, purchase amulets and so on). Unlike diamonds, however, Cash cannot be obtained in-game, and can only be purchased using real money. |

Splatoon: Super Sea Snails, which can be spent to either increase the number of abilities on a piece of gear, reroll all the abilities attached to it, or increase its Star Power. Super Sea Snails are mainly earned by participating in the limited-time events known as Splatfests. There's also an alternate methods of obtaining Super Sea Snails after each game has its Grand Finale event by speaking to Judd after fulfilling certain requirements, so that those who missed out on them still have a way to upgrade their gear. Splatoon 3 adds Sheldon Licenses, which are used to buy weapons. They're earned both through increasing your level, as well as each weapon's Freshness level (the latter of which is done by using a weapon regularly). |

My Little Pony (Gameloft): While Bits can be easily obtained through shops, games, and bushes, Gems are much rarer and often require days of playing to receive just a small amount, if they aren't given as a reward for certain accomplishments (like finishing a quest or completing a scrapbook page of ponies). Unfortunately, after a certain point in the game, Gems become the main way to purchase new ponies, and you're often required to use Gems to progress further in the game by buying a certain pony, shop, or prop. | |

This currency can then be used to buy spices (for completing Special Orders), speed up the preparation time of the food/beverages, hire additional staff, etc. | |

Ensemble Stars! has several different kinds of collectibles, each with specific purposes (e.g., gems can only be used to increase cards' stats, and medals are used solely within the medal shop to exchange for promo cards), but the most commonly seen as Producer Points, which are used in low-rarity scouting and are very plentiful, and Dia, the premium currency which is used in high-rarity scouting, to refresh LP and AP bars, and as a substitute for gems if the player doesn't have enough. | |

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash have Gem Apples. Gem Apples can be obtained every few hours from the Gem Apple Tree or earned by completing Heroic Deeds. Gem Apples are used to buy items, equipment and upgrades from Shopkeeper Magolor at his Shoppe. Gem Apples can also be bought with real money; in addition to immediately giving you Gem Apples, purchasing Gem Apples permanently upgrades the Gem Apple Tree to give more Gem Apples. Paying a certain amount of money will max out the Gem Apple Tree, disabling the ability to buy Gem Apples in exchange for being able to obtain a ludicrous amount of Gem Apples from the Gem Apple Tree periodically, ensuring you will never be on short supply. Surprisingly, there is an actual lore explanation for Gem Apples: they originate from Another Dimension, where Magolor assembled a Gem Apple Seed out of Fruit Fragments during the quest to restore his powers. He wound up taking a Gem Apple with him when he escaped Another Dimension and arrived in the Kirby Clash universe, upon which he decided to do business with the universe's residents by using Gem Apples and a Gem Apple Tree as currency. | |

In Animal Jam, diamonds serve as a sister currency to gems. Diamonds are earned by buying real world items, getting lucky on the Daily Spin (or using the members-only spin), going on each week (for members only), and getting certain gifts on Jamaalidays. Diamonds can be used to buy exclusive clothing, furniture, music, dens, and gems. | |

Fallen London has Fate, which while can be unlocked by playing, doing so is such a painfully slow process that it might as well be exclusive to people who are willing to spend real money on the game. Fate can be used to refill your actions, which let you progress in the game but take real time to refresh. There are also storylines that are Fate-locked, meaning that you must pay Fate in order to experience them, and no other currency. | |

Used to be inverted in Roblox. In the past, while Robux, the main currency, couldn't be obtained easily without Builder's Club, there were tickets which could be earned daily and be used by "non-builder's-club" (NBCs) to buy certain objects. Now Roblox subverts this trope with the removal of tickets, leaving NBCs to mainly buy free items. | |
