UPDATE: Rockhopper and Coins for Change 2009 is HERE :)
Rockhopper arrives on December 11! And with the special donation stations he’s bringing for igloos, Coins for Change will kick off with a flurry of excitement!
This year, along with giving coins, penguins are encouraged to find other ways to celebrate giving.
“It’s about more than just coins,” said one penguin.
Another told us, “It takes time to earn coins, and time to do goo deeds. Giving isn’t about money – it’s about sharing what’s important to you!”
Captain Rockhopper was overheard saying that he’ll be around the island meeting penguins and is hoping to find more ways to make a difference. Happy77 ask Screenhog about Coins :)

This year, the Club Penguin Times asked for new ways to celebrate giving. Here are a few ideas:
MORE WAYS TO GIVE!
- Throw a Coins for Change party in your igloo and invite your friends to give!
- Spend ten minutes playing your favorite game, and donate all the coins you earn to Coins for Change!
- Send postcards to penguins you’ve never met before.
- Help a new penguin find their way around by offering a tour!
IN FOCUS Coins for Change Guide Tour :)
Happy holidays, and welcome to a special edition of In Focus. This week, we’ll focus on Coins for Change, the donation program that has the whole island abuzz.
We met our tour guide at the Plaza, next to the Coins for Change donation bucket. She was wearing a Gingerbread Costume and hat, and a Kettle filled with Donated Coins :)
“Ho Ho Ho! Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year! Today I’ll be showing you all the places you can donate to Coins for Change, starting right here.”
“To donate coins, the Plaza bucket is in a great place if you’re heading back from Cart Surfer, surfing at the Cove, or even channel surfing in your igloo.”
Next we headed over to the Beach, where penguins were coming back and forth from the Migrator.
“The bucket here at the Beach is a little less obvious, since a lot of penguins head straight onto the ship. It’s the perfect place for more secretive donations, like those from ninjas or secret agents.”
Next we headed into the Captain’s Quarters on the Migrator. It was packed with enthusiastic treasure hunters.
“I’m glad to see you brought your key!” our tour guide called over the crowd. “Captain Rockhopper set up a bucket in here for processional treasure hunters! Here, help me earn some coins while Rockhopper’s here!” Treasure Hunt Tips :)
And so ends another In Focus tour :)
See how our Island was Decorated for Coins for Change 2008 :)
DID YOU KNOW?
This is the third year of Coins for Change. Last year, penguins donated over 3 billion coins to show their support. That could buy a lot of postcards! Result from Coins for Change 2008 :)
CHECK IT OUT!
Whether it’s 50 coins or 50,000, your contribution is appreciated. Remember: you don’t need to donate a lot to make a difference.
HOW IT’S DONE
Donating is easy – just walk up to a donation bucket, select the cause you would like to support and how much you would like to donate. You can donate as often as you like.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Penguins looking to fund-raise a lot of coins should do what they do best. The Captain brought his Treasure Hunt game to help, but if you’re a master Cart Surfer, or an Aqua Grabber expert, full speed ahead!
