'''Strange Coins''' are items used to purchase powerful loot from [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine|Xûr]] in ''[[Destiny]]''.<ref>[http://destinynews.net/xur-agent-nine/ '''Destiny News.net''' - ''Xûr, Agent of the Nine'']</ref> They later returned in ''[[Destiny 2]]'s'' [[30th Anniversary Pack]], where they were used to purchase special bounties and other rewards from [[Starhorse]]. Beginning in ''The Final Shape'', Strange Coins were removed from the [[Dares of Eternity]] economy with Starhorse's bounties now costing [[Glimmer]] and are once again used to purchase wares from Xûr. Spending Strange Coins increases reputation with Xûr, and allows the user to obtain a Favor of the Nine which grants a buff called Strange Favor, granting a chance to earn a bonus Strange Coin from any Strange Coin drop. Strange Favor can stack up to 3 times labeled Strange, Stranger, and Strangest Favor, respectively and lasts 11 days unless another Favor of the Nine is picked up.

*In ''Destiny 2'', the veteran dialogue for a particular [[Ghost scan|Ghost scan]] interaction in [[Watcher's Grave]] on [[Nessus]] has the player's Ghost remark that the Vex artifact being scanned resembles a large version of a Strange Coin.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Ghost scan]]: [[Ghost scan#Arcadian Valley, Nessus|Arcadian Valley, Nessus]] (NE-WG-1)''</ref>
