History Main / MoneyMauling

** The Pay Day move throws gold coins at your enemy. The move itself does low Normal-Type damage, but also increased how much money you get at the end of the battle with each use of the move. It's been associated with Meowth, to the point where it was actually removed from Persian's learnset in Generation IV! However, other Pokémon can learn it as well such as Purrloin, who's been able to have been bred with it and it's also available via certain events. In addition, Generations I and VIII have had it as a TM, though Generation IX changes it back to only being learned by Meowth, Persian and their variants. In addition, in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', Gigantamax Meowth can use G-Max Gold Rush which scatters ''even more coins'' due to being equal to Meowth's level and if used for all three turns, it actually earns you more money ''than Pay Day''! Rather ironically, Team Rocket's Meowth can use Pay Day in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Yellow]] in the second to fourth battles with Jessie and James but in the anime, the Orange Islands established that Meowth ''couldn't'' learn the move.
** Fling is a [[CombatPragmatist Dark-type]] move that lets the user throw their Held Item at the enemy, the power of which depends on the item being thrown. While flinging a (gold) Nugget gives a measly 30 power, flinging a Big Nugget in Generation VIII and above gives a whopping 130 power and can do serious damage, especially against Psychic- or Ghost- types.

* ''VideoGame/{{Ultrakill}}'' has the pistol's Marksman alt fire, which flips a coin into the air, allowing V1 to shoot it in midair for a guaranteed CriticalHit trick shot. Advanced techniques involving the Marksman coin include shooting it at the absolute apex of the arc to split the bullet into two, reflecting enemy shots by positioning a coin in their way, or simply punching the coin directly into enemies' faces (which does minimal damage but acts as a taunt). [[spoiler: [[MirrorBoss V2]] can use your own coins against you, though nothing is stopping you from returning the favour]].

* In the ''VideoGame/TinyToonAdventures'' LicensedGame for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, some of the hazards in the final stage include cannons that shoot bags of money. In the final battle with Montana Max at the end of the stage, Monty will try to attack you by tossing a giant gold coin, which you can bounce off of to reach one of the two balconys he is standing in.

** The move Fling is a [[CombatPragmatist Dark-type]] move that lets the user throw their Held Item at the enemy, the power of which depends on the item being thrown. While flinging a (gold) Nugget gives a measly 30 power, flinging a Big Nugget in Generation VIII and above has a whopping 130 power and can do serious damage.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesKuroNoKiseki'', Van's appropriately named "Coin Bullet" Craft uses five 10-mira coins to flick at his enemies.

Subtrope of ImprobableWeaponUser and, in some cases, ImprovisedWeapon. Overlaps with AbnormalAmmo when the cash is shot out of another weapon. SisterTrope to GemstoneAssault, which also uses valuables as weapons.

See also BlingBlingBang, in which the weapons are unusually fancy to show their user's wealth without ''being'' money; MoneySlap, which doesn't hurt like this trope (unless you use loose change), but is moreso done as a sign of disrespect; CastFromMoney, an ability (not necessarily an attack) that drains money with each use while not necessarily weaponizing the money itself; and CrimefightingWithCash, where the money is spent to achieve the owner's ends.

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Mikoto Misaka is able to launch coins with the force of a railgun, aided with her electric powers, hence her nickname "Railgun".

* [[SockItToThem Socks]] filled with quarters or pennies are often used as improvised blackjacks or flails.

* In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'', the Diamond Sting is one of the [[SevenDeadlySins Seven Deadly Weapons]] and represents the sin of Greed. It's a [[BlingBlingBang gold-plated]] SMG that fires diamonds at the enemy.
