The Coin is an item that has appeared in several Rusty Lake games. It is a small silver disc, with what appears to be an etched portrait on the surface, typical of many coins.

Cube Escape: Birthday[]

After Mr. Rabbit shoots Dale's family dead, he leaves a note near the small chest, which now has a silver coin inside its slot. The coin is used as part of a machine, which produces a blue cube needed to travel back in time to before the shooting.

Now, Dale's Grandfather asks Dale to open the chest. The coin must be taken out of the machine and placed into the slot of the chest to unlock it. The pistol inside is given to Dale's Grandfather, who is ready this time and shoots Mr. Rabbit when he tries to break in.

Cube Escape: Paradox[]

When Dale's parents are shot dead in the past, the player can look inside their present. There is a small locked chest that has a slot for the coin to fit in.

The White Door[]

After Bob commits himself the mental health facility The White Door, he brings the coin with him and keeps it in the dresser in his room. Written on the coin is the phrase "THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD". During the sixth day, Bob's Corrupted Soul finds a miniature Soul inside the coffee mug and follows it around the room. The last place it hides is inside the coin box, where it is holding onto the coin and will not let go. Picking up and dropping it repeatedly will cause the miniature Soul to be squashed by the coin.

The coin also appears in his dreams. During the second dream, Bob gives the coin to a beggar while driving to work. Then in the sixth dream Bob is awakened on the street by the beggar, who gives him back the coin and tells him to call someone. Putting the coin into the telephone booth, Bob calls The White Door.
