Roll of Pennies

The  is an item in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

Whenever the holder takes damage, they gain gold equal to 12% the cost of a Small Chest. This value starts at 3 gold (+3 per stack) and scales with the difficulty coefficient.

Tips

 * This item activates on any instance of enemy damage, regardless of its proc coefficient. This includes damage over time effects, which will activate the item's effect for every individual tick of damage.
 * This means that intentionally letting enemies inflict or  can be an effective way to rapidly generate money, especially when combined with a  to mitigate the damage. Note that  renders this strategy somewhat less effective.
 * Taking damage from a beam, or standing in the damage zone of a  spore bomb are also effective ways to generate money.

Trivia

 * Looking closely at the penny's model in the logbook shows that instead of reading "In God We Trust" like a standard United States penny, it reads "In Paul We Trust." This is a reference to Paul Morse, one of the two founders of Hopoo Games, who also has named after him.
