Crops for Coins


Ever wondered what you're best off planting for maximum profit?

Perhaps you have some free space in your Greenhouse or on your stead and want to make some coins now that we have the Leprechaun King who's prepared to take that shiny stuff off our hands in return for boosts or Horseshoes?

Well, wonder no longer, as we give you the full list of coin crops you can plant in order of profit per hour!

A few things to note... We have only covered Coin Crops as those are the ones that are easy to plant en masse, and Super Crops as they're... well, useless... this is about making money easily, not needing gift crops first.

All prices are WITH the 5% discount from the Rithmatic School Lesson, all times are without the Irrigation Station "discount" on time.
