'''Silver Coins''' are [[coin]] items in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]].

In the original [[Nintendo 64]] release, every course has a [[Silver Coin Challenge]], where the objective is to collect eight Silver Coins and win in first place. Many of the Silver Coins have a colorful N64 icon designed on the sides and are well hidden or located off-track. The player can only participate in a world's Silver Coin Challenges after winning against the world boss in a race, and every race course has their own minimum requirement of [[Golden Balloon]]s needed to play the challenges. When the player's racer completes a Silver Coin Challenge, [[Taj]] awards them with a Golden Balloon. Completing the Silver Coin Challenge in all four courses of [[Dino Domain]], [[Snowflake Mountain]], [[Sherbet Island]] and [[Dragon Forest]] engages the player in a rematch against the world's boss to obtain a piece of the [[Wizpig amulet]], and obtaining all four pieces leads up to [[Wizpig's First Strike|a race]] with [[Wizpig]] himself. In [[Future Fun Land]], completing the Silver Coin Challenge, plus obtaining all four pieces of the [[T.T. amulet]], engages the player in [[Wizpig Strikes Back|one more race with Wizpig]].

In the remake, the Silver Coin Challenge has been replaced with [[Balloon Touch Challenge]]s in Adventure Mode. The Silver Coin Challenges still exist in the single race mode, and are redesigned with a [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] symbol on the sides. They can be purchased from Taj's Wishes Menu. Each track's Silver Coin Challenge must be unlocked by completing its respective Balloon Touch Challenge.
