For a few weeks now, there has been a new coin system in Pokémon GO – at least in Germany. Some trainers have discovered that by crossing borders, you can earn up to 70 coins per day.
This is how the coin system works: Germany is one of the few countries worldwide where this new system is live. You can earn 30 coins per day by sitting in gyms and the other coins by completing small quests.
In all countries around Germany, this system is not yet live. There, you can still earn the 50 coins exclusively by sitting in gyms.
Trainers get 70 daily coins
This is now shown: The two players Frackl3s and Twist3t reached out to MeinMMO and spoke about their experiences. After a trip to the Netherlands, they suddenly received 70 daily coins.
How to get 70 coins? To do this, you need to mix the two current coin systems. The trainers from Germany spent a few days in the Netherlands and played Pokémon GO there. Upon returning to Germany, they were still sitting in some gyms in the Netherlands.
There, they were gradually kicked out. Per day, they received 50 coins for the Dutch gyms. Additionally, they could still complete the daily quests from Germany and earn 20 more coins. So in the end, they got 70 daily coins.

Are there other reports? In fact, some players are also reporting this phenomenon on reddit. The Dutch player Devreugkx says that even border areas to Germany have the new coin system, although they belong to the Netherlands. If you play close to the border there, you can only earn the 20 daily coins from the quests and then an additional 50 coins from gyms that are a bit further away from the border.
Other trainers report similar incidents from Switzerland.
What does this mean for German players? Those of you living close to a border can even collect 70 coins daily, at least as long as the new coin system is not active in other countries.
For this, you just need to occupy gyms in the other country and then complete the daily quests back in Germany.
If you want to spend your coins, then maybe on raid passes. Currently, Genesect is in the raids, and you can even encounter it as shiny. We show you in our guide how to defeat Genesect with just two players.
