# Coins

You get a coin for every day you practice and another for reaching your daily goal, and you lose one for every day you skip.

## How a coin is earned

- **+1** for every day you practice at all.
- **+1** more on the days you reach your [daily goal](https://pianokitty.com/features/practice-time).
- **+1** the first time you complete an exercise.
- **−1** for every day without practice.

Because of the last rule, the balance can go down as well as up, so skipping a day has a small, visible cost. A day practiced on the tablet is not counted as missed on the laptop.

## The coin history

The [Your coins](https://pianokitty.com/stats/coins) page shows the balance and the full history: when each coin arrived and why, which days cost one, and which pets you bought. You can trace every coin in the balance back to its entry.

## What they are for

You spend them in the [pet shop](https://pianokitty.com/features/pet-shop). The people you practice with can see them too: the activity feed and the week strip show who earned what, which adds a bit of friendly competition.
