Unlock Method

Swallowed Penny is an unlockable trinket.

Effect[edit | edit source]

Spawns one coin of any type upon taking damage.
- When held by Keeper, spawns 0-1 coins.

Swallowed Penny can also be found by destroying urns and special shopkeepers.
Though similar to the Piggy Bank item, the Swallowed Penny is not limited to just pennies.
Unlike Piggy Bank, playing as Keeper with this trinket always drops a coin, allowing semi-infinite life.
- A trick for farming money when playing as Keeper is to find a room with some static hazard like spikes and taking damage, causing a coin to appear. A penny will only refill life while a nickel will give four cents, and a dime will give nine cents.
- This trick can also be used to survive multiple uses of a sacrifice room, healing with the dropped coin between each sacrifice.
- As it can now give 0 coins when playing as the Keeper, this no longer works. When combined with Piggy Bank, you will still gain money on average, but you are no longer guaranteed a payout. Using IV Bag as your source of damage increases the average amount of coins per damage to 1.5, meaning you can usually generate a pool of coins you can use during an unlucky break or for later healing.
