All 21 Antique Coin Locations in RE9 & Parlor Rewards
Searching for every RE9 antique coin location? Resident Evil 9: Requiem hides 21 antique coins across the game's four main areas, and collecting them lets you exchange them at the Parlor for powerful weapon upgrades and unique items. You need 17 antique coins to purchase every Parlor reward, but finding all 21 RE9 antique coins gives you flexibility in your choices and contributes to full completion. This guide lists every antique coin location with detailed descriptions so you never miss one.
Antique coins are small, tarnished silver coins that gleam faintly when your flashlight hits them. They do not appear on the map and produce no sound cue, so you need to search carefully. Pair this guide with our Mr. Raccoon locations and file locations to collect everything in a single playthrough.
💡You Only Need 17 Coins
The Parlor has enough rewards to spend exactly 17 antique coins. The remaining 4 coins provide a buffer in case you miss a few. However, finding all 21 earns you the Numismatist achievement and maximizes your completion percentage.
What Is the Parlor in RE9?
The Parlor is a hidden exchange shop accessible from the Care Center courtyard at Rhodes Hill. Inside, a merchant figure offers special items in exchange for antique coins. You cannot buy these items with regular currency — only antique coins work here. The Parlor becomes available during the Care Center walkthrough and remains accessible until you leave Rhodes Hill for Raccoon City.
Parlor Exchange Rewards
Here are all the items available at the Parlor and their antique coin costs:
| Item | Coin Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Stabilizer | 3 coins | Permanently reduces weapon sway when aiming |
| Steroids | 4 coins | Permanently increases max health |
| 990-TAC Shotgun | 5 coins | Tactical shotgun with faster fire rate than W870 |
| Lucky Charm | 5 coins | Increases rare item drop rate by 25% |
📝Priority Purchase Recommendation
If you only find 17 coins, buy the Steroids first (permanent health boost), then the 990-TAC Shotgun (best shotgun in the game), and finally the Stabilizer. The Lucky Charm is nice but not essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do antique coins carry over to New Game Plus?
No. Antique coins reset with each new playthrough. You must collect them again on every run. However, Parlor purchases (weapons, permanent upgrades) do carry over in New Game Plus.
Can I return to the Parlor after leaving Rhodes Hill?
No. The Parlor is only accessible during the Rhodes Hill chapter. Once you leave for Raccoon City, you cannot return until chapter select. Spend your coins before departing. Make sure to check the weapon locations guide to plan which Parlor items complement your loadout.
What happens if I collect more than 17 coins?
Extra coins beyond 17 have no additional use. They do not convert to currency or carry over. However, finding all 21 unlocks the Numismatist achievement and contributes to your overall game completion percentage.
Are antique coin locations the same on Insanity difficulty?
Yes. All 21 RE9 antique coin locations are identical across every difficulty mode. The coins are in the same spots whether you play on Casual, Normal, or Insanity.
