'''Koins''' are [[Kremling]]s encountered in every level of the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Koins wear buckets on their head and carry a shield which has a [[DK Coin]] attached to it.

If the Kongs approach a Koin, he will simply bash them away; if they attempt to jump on him he will simply raise his shield and block the jump. Koins are immune to almost any kind of attack.  Even [[TNT Barrel]]s are useless against them. Fortunately, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and/or [[Kiddy Kong]] can defeat a Koin by using a [[Steel Keg]]. They have to throw the Steel Keg over him, which will then rebound off a wall (sometimes the Kongs must find another way to defeat Koin using the Steel Keg) and hit Koin in the back, defeating him and giving Dixie and Diddy a DK Coin as reward.

On a side note, some Koins can only be defeated with the assistance of a Kremling enemy named [[Bazuka]]. In some levels, the Steel Keg required to defeat Koin is obtained by bringing an [[Animal Buddy]] past the [[No Animal Sign]]. In these cases, the Kongs only get one chance to defeat Koin; if they fail, they must replay the entire level to get another chance.

A purple-ish version of Koin called [[Koindozer]] is encountered in the level "[[Koindozer Klamber]]". Koindozers are much more aggressive than their green brethren, chasing the Kongs and attempting to bash them into pits.
