You can unlock HIA Coins by completing the “Trash Talking” side commission from Ellis at Waterfall Soup pretty early on.
Below, we explain where to find all the HIA Coins in Sixth Street, Brant Street, Lumina Square, and Ballet Twins Road.
What are HIA Coins used for in Zenless Zone Zero?
You can trade HIA Coins to the Sage of Barrels, the trashcan in the corner of Sixth Street. The garbage can will give you a random reward from a pool of items for every coin you give it, including EXP materials and Denny.
Where to find HIA Coins in Zenless Zone Zero
You can find HIA Coins in a handful of places, but the thing to look for are NPCs with grey speech bubbles above them or sparkling interactable objects like so:
If you’re having a hard time finding the NPCs or sparkling objects, there are a couple things you can do:
- Leave the area and come back to refresh the NPCs.
- Look to see if the NPC is in the “wrong” spot. For example, if you need Clara’s coin but she’s standing in front of Remote Play instead of the remodeling shop, talk to her, and then refresh the area to have her move.
- Be aware that NPCs may get tied up in side commissions, too. For instance, weren’t able to get Ronnie’s coin because Kousaka was busy with another quest.
- Double check that the time is set correctly.
- Make sure you’re not in immersive story mode. If you can’t see the time of day in the top left corner, you won’t be able to find coins.
- The silver “Radiance” coins from Lumina Square and Ballet Twins Road only seem to spawn one at a time, so you may have to travel between the two locations to find them. You may also have to leave the area and come back to get the next coins to spawn.
You can also track your progress for each area by talking to Officer Mewmew. The last task on each page is collecting half or all the HIA coins in the area, which will let you know your progress.

Lumina Square HIA Coin locations
As mentioned above, the coins in Lumina Square work a little bit differently: One of them will randomly spawn at a time either in Lumina Square or Ballet Twins Road, based on our testing. If you find one, the next one will spawn in the other area, if that area has remaining coins left for that time of day. It’s a little bit finicky, and we’re not sure if it works like this on purpose.
For example, if you talked to Emmie behind Coff Cafe during the day in Lumina Square to get a coin, you’ll need to head to Ballet Twins Road to grab a daytime coin before any more coins will spawn in Lumina Square. If Ballet Twins Road has no more daytime coins to grab, leave Lumina Square and come back for a remaining daytime coin to randomly spawn.
Our list below does not list them in order of the spawn, since it’s random, but does list them by time of day so you can grab them quickly and efficiently.
- Morning: Talk to Granny Leisha near the silver statue.
- Morning: Interact with the bike in front of the newstand.
- Morning: Interact with the flower bed in front of Richard Teamilk.

Ballet Twins Road HIA Coin locations
As mentioned above, the coins spawn here in a little bit of a weird way. They seem to alternate between single-coin spawns between Lumina Square and Ballet Twins Road, so you may have to alternate locations to get coins to appear.

- Morning: Interact with the takeout bag on the bench by Officer Mewmew.
