Limited edition commemorative coins issued by the Hollow Investigative Association long ago. Their exclusivity is due to their rarity, as many of these coins have been lost over the years due to people relocating away from Hollows and other reasons.
HIA Commemorative Coin is a special currency unit used to receive various items from Sage in a Barrel. The player will unlock the ability to find HIA Commemorative Coins and the Sage in a Barrel during the Trash TalkingCommission.
The majority of HIA Commemorative Coins can be obtained either through interacting with items or points of interest, which have sparkles to indicate the presence of an HIA coin, or by talking to NPCs that have the icon above their heads. The coins that cannot be obtained in either manner are typically locked behind specific Commissions, or have specific Commission requirements.
There are a total of 28 HIA Commemorative Coins that can be obtained across Sixth Street and Brant Street Construction Site. However, only 27 can be submitted to Sage in a Barrel, leaving one left over in the player's inventory.
Elis: I really want to find a trash can and hide away in it...
What happened?
Elis: She... Um... I just saw her drop an HIA Commemorative Coin behind her as she was walking.
Elis: I picked up the coin and gathered all my courage and approached her, but she told me it wasn't hers...
Elis: I feel so useless... She's probably going to think I'm some weird flirt and hate me for being so obviously useless... Ahhhh... I shouldn't have done anything so none of this would've happened!
It's not that bad, bro.
(Pat him on the shoulder)
Elis: Thanks for your support...
Elis: And this commemorative coin, would you please toss it into the trash can for me?
Elis: When I snuck off with the coin, I thought I heard this weird voice coming out of a trash can.
Elis: If... If even trash cans can mock me like this... Then maybe I really should just chuck myself in the trash once and for all!
Sjal: Forget it, I didn't have many flyers left anyway. It's probably fate.
Lost something?
Sjal: A gust of wind just blew away all my flyers. I managed to save some of them, but the rest ended up down here.
Sjal: That's connected to the sewer right? Ah, never mind.
Sjal: Let's hope the mysterious sewer dwellers have an interest in cat hair care and paw manicures.
(There's no such people.There's no such people.Text for Wise / Mysterious sewer dwellers don't exist!Mysterious sewer dwellers don't exist!Text for Belle)
Sjal: Oh, by the way, I found this weird coin while I was trying to save my flyers, but it doesn't look like a Denny...
Wait, it's an HIA Commemorative Coin!
Sjal: Hmm... What is it? It's not a Denny, so you can't buy anything with it. Well, you can keep it if you want, as long as you take one of my flyers.
Sjal: I've got flyers for cat hair care and paw manicures. Any interest... Like at all?
But I'm not a Thiren...
Sjal: Don't worry, just take a look. Feel free to toss it if you're not interested.
Sjal: Flyers usually end up in the trash can anyway. As long as you don't crumple it up and throw it right in front of me, I won't complain.
Sure thing! I'll take it!
Sjal: *loud* Thank you so much! Please accept this flyer! *whispering* And this HIA Commemorative Coin.

(Talk to Sjal again, optional)
Sjal: Luckily not too many fell down there, or it could've caused a blockage.
Mrs. Yani: They don't look the same... No, they're definitely different!
What's different?
Mrs. Yani: Hey, (boyboyText for Wise / girlgirlText for Belle), you've got good eyes. Take a look for me. Is this a Denny?
No, this is not a Denny.
It's an HIA Commemorative Coin.
Mrs. Yani: I don't know where it came from, but it was in my purse. Could it be... from the change I got at the convenience store the other day? I'll have to ask them!
Mrs. Yani: No... those three rabbit robots are tricky. They'll never admit it if I just go up and ask. Ah right, young lass, take this coin. Can you ask for me?
(Talk to Mrs. Yani again, optional)
Mrs. Yani: Or maybe you can ask them if they accept such a coin.
The Bangboo named "Give Change" looks at the HIA Commemorative Coin, then at me, and shakes its head like a rattle drum.
Looks like the convenience store does not accept this kind of currency. Please go and tell Mrs. Yani.
(Return to Mrs. Yani)
Mrs. Yani: So? Does the convenience store accept such a coin?
No, it doesn't.
Shake your head like "Give Change" did.
Mrs. Yani: I see... Never mind. It's just a single coin, so it's not a big loss.
Mrs. Yani: So, this... it's called an "HIA Commemorative Coin," right? Looks like I won't be able to use it. You can keep it as a thank-you for helping out.
(Obtain HIA Commemorative Coin ×1)
(Talk to Mrs. Yani again, optional)
Mrs. Yani: How exactly did this coin end up in my wallet...
Luo: So... the owner of this garage is the Sixth Street Motor Legend who gave you a brutal defeat the other night?
Phil: Yeah, I caught a glimpse of the motorcycle's tail lights, and then it turned into Sixth Street and vanished.
Phil: The store manager here knows more about motors than anyone else on this street, and he's got a thing for the color red.
Phil: Red gloves, red bow tie, red hat, and red sunglasses! Who else could it be but him!
Luo: But this store specializes in "car" repairs and modification right? You were defeated by a "motorcycle," weren't you? They don't have a single motorcycle part in his open garage.
Phil: That's... even more suspicious! Think about it: During the day, he disguises himself as a car mechanic, and at night, he transforms into the most legendary racer ever!
Phil: I'm telling you, I've always had this vibe that this isn't your ordinary street. Like, maybe some random guy strolling around here's got an astounding reputation in the underworld!
Luo: But what can you do if he just won't admit it? You don't have any proof at all unless you can stop his motorcycle and catch him red-handed.
Phil: I can't even catch up to him, let alone stop him...
Luo: Then he's not the one you're looking for, because you have no proof.
Phil: But he is! I may lack evidence, but I'm 99.9999% sure it IS him!
Luo: Then you'll just have to stop his motorcycle.
Phil: But I can't!
Luo: Then he's not, because you have no proof.
Phil: But he...! You...! You're just messing with me, aren't you? Alright, let's stop arguing and flip a coin!
Phil: Heads — we'll wait for him to show up again and challenge him head-on!
Luo: And tails?
Phil: You're coming with me to the store to lie down on the floor! We won't leave until he admits it!
Luo: ...Hey, that's quite an unusual coin. Where did you get it?
Phil: Don't try to change the subject. It's settled. I'm flipping it!
Luo: ...
Phil: ...
Phil: Hmm? Why isn't it dropping?
Luo: It must have defied gravity and broken through the atmosphere. I didn't know you were so strong!
(Interact with the Empty Crate)
Empty Crate: A shiny HIA Commemorative Coin is lying in an empty crate.
Empty Crate: Regardless of how it ended up in the box, it's yours now.
Clara: Are you really a talent scout? Why can't you recommend me for a movie?
Clara: I'm a pretty big influencer online, and I have hundreds of thousands of fans across different platforms! Haven't there been cases of influencers becoming movie stars?
Pavol Chuck: Ahem... it's not that you're not talented, but... Let me put it this way. My job is to find people with the potential to become stars.
Pavol Chuck: In other words, I'm looking for those with a unique aura! And that knack for acting!
Pavol Chuck: Compared to adults who pretend to be kids, I'd prefer those who are capable of the other way around.
Clara: Adults who... pretend to be kids? I... I've no idea what you're talking about! Ah, forget it! You must be a fraud!
Pavol Chuck: Huh? Hold on, I can't just let that slide! You can question me all you want, but don't you question my profession!
Pavol Chuck: While scouting is my current gig, I used to be a theater actor. Let me show you what real talent looks like! Let's see... Well, there's a trash can over there.
Pavol Chuck: I happen to have this coin I found on a table at Coff Cafe this morning. Let's pretend that there's a person living in that trash can, and I'm using this coin to buy something from them.
Pavol Chuck: Hey, (handsomehandsomeText for Wise / prettyprettyText for Belle)? Could you please play along with us?
Huh? But I'm just passing by...
Huh? But I thought you were the one who was going to act...
Pavol Chuck: I wanted to showcase the contrast! You just do whatever you want, and then I'll take it from there. You'll see what real talent is from the details in my actions, body language, and facial expressions!
Clara: Talking to a trash can... What kind of "talent" is that...?
Pavol Chuck: Come on, darling. Just act any way you want! I'll give you this coin as a token of appreciation!
(Talk to Pavol Chuck again, optional)

(Interact with Trash Can)
This is just a common trash can, but rumor has it there's something uncommon in it...
Chat
Gather Info
Trash Can: It's quiet inside the trash can. The creature inside seems to be taking a rest.
Give it a kick!
Trash Can: Whoa! Wh—What's going on!? Isn't it too early for garbage collection? Who's banging in such a rude way!?
Trash Can: Hmm? Oh, it's you. Are you trying to exchange for some intel about the Hollow using that HIA Commemorative Coin?
Not now, thank you.
I just wanted to show you this new commemorative coin I got.
Trash Can: ...Don't bother me if you don't have anything better to do. And even if you do have something, just don't kick it.
Trash Can: Don't you have hands? Be gentle! Just tap twice! On the lid!
(Return to Pavol Chuck)
Pavol Chuck: ...
I'm back.
How did it go?
Clara: It was amazing! I definitely love it! I'm already a fan!
Pavol Chuck: ...
Clara: Hey, say something! It was just a random performance from a random person on Sixth Street. What's your "professional opinion on it"?
Pavol Chuck: It was...
Pavol Chuck: It was a once-in-a-century performance!
Pavol Chuck: The arrogance while kicking the trash can, and the smug expression while showing off the coin... It was so convincing... like there's a real person curled up in that trash can!
Pavol Chuck: I don't need to do it again. You've considered every detail I could think of! No... you've even acted out things I never thought out! Hah... who could have thought that there are so many hidden talents on this Sixth Street?
Pavol Chuck: Oh, let's get down to business! Here's my business card, (handsomehandsomeText for Wise / darlingdarlingText for Belle). Please, do think about entering showbiz!
Clara: Hey, hold on! Why are you giving (himhimText for Wise / herherText for Belle) your card so quickly?
Pavol Chuck: Honestly, your talent for acting is incredible. Don't let it go to waste.
But I already have a job.
Pavol Chuck: Well, please forgive my bluntness, but I genuinely believe that if you pursue acting, you'll achieve so much more than in any other profession!
Pavol Chuck: Haha, but of course, it completely depends on you.
Pavol Chuck: Please accept my card. My name is Pavol, and if you change your mind, just call me anytime!
Pavol Chuck: Oh, and as I promised earlier, this coin is yours now.
Travis: Hmm... which client left this coin here...?
What's wrong?
Travis?
Travis: Hey, you're right on time! I was looking for you guys! I was checking inventory and found this weird coin. My store's been busy lately, and I have no idea who dropped it.
Travis: Take a look, maybe? Is this coin yours?
No. It's an HIA Commemorative Coin, but it's not mine...
Travis: Ah, I see... I thought it might be some precious coin someone had lost, and I spent the whole afternoon asking my all clients about it.
Travis: Well, since you're familiar with this... um... whatever coin, feel free to keep it. It's probably more useful to you than to me.
(Obtain HIA Commemorative Coin ×1)
(Talk to Travis again, optional)
Travis: Now that you're here, why don't you have some dinner at Waterfall Soup?
Clara: I set myself up as a foodie, but all this street sells is noodles. I can't just keep eating noodles...
Clara: There's an arcade and a gadget store on this street... Maybe I can portray myself as a video game enthusiast, too?
Clara: But I'm terrible at video games. They'd realize the minute I put a coin in... What about "cute noob girl"? Sounds promising...
Clara: ...Huh? How long have you been standing there!? Did you hear me talking to myself?
I heard everything, including the "noob girl" part.
Clara: Hmph...! Whatever! You're just a random passerby, and even if you tell people, my fans won't believe you!
I didn't hear anything. I just got here.
Clara: Hmph... I... I believe you! You're just some random passerby... right...?
Clara: Passerby... Wait... passerby... That's it! I can use this chance to generate more buzz!
Clara: Hey (handsomehandsomeText for Wise / beautifulbeautifulText for Belle), could you help me take a photo? Just take a photo of me passing by here!
Clara: Just take a quick picture, and it doesn't have to be perfect. I just need it to look like I'm casually walking by...
(Take a photo of Clara)
Clara: Did you take it? Let me see!
Clara: Wow... it's perfect! Please send it to me! Thanks!
Clara: All right. I'll send it to my secret account... with something like...
Clara: "Whoa! I never expected to run into Clara here. She's even more adorable in person than in her videos!"
Clara: It's perfect! Oh, and please keep this between us!
Clara: I found this lovely coin near the flowerbeds as I was passing by. Consider it a thank-you gift!
Packing Crate: The cardboard boxes in front of the music store are full of record packaging. Although there are no albums inside, sifting through them is kind of fun.
Packing Crate: Wait a minute. There seems to be something hidden within the cardboard box labeled "Pretend to be Yourself."
Give it a shake.
Packing Crate: With a jingle, an HIA Commemorative Coin falls out from the cardboard box.
Roy: Noodles! No... we'll have some meat... Ol' Captain Jerky! No, no... jerky isn't filling... How about cheese cookies? But they're not very nutritious, and for the same price, you can get a big bag of pickled seaweed...
Are you going on a spring trip?
You eat a lot...
Roy: You don't get it. I've been eating toast for four days straight! Mom bought a load of toast and told me I'd be having all kinds of toast for the next week...
Roy: Plain toast for breakfast and toast with vegetable soup for dinner... for four days straight! I can't handle any more toast, seriously!
Roy: I've got to grab some proper food while my mom is busy watching TV. Alright, let's see... Got my wallet... Hmm? What's this?
Roy: It's not a Denny, and doesn't look like a Godfinger token...
This is... an HIA Commemorative Coin!
Roy: D'you want it? Any amount of Dennies is fine! Please, help a starving soul out!
I'll give you 300 Dennies for it.
Roy: Awesome, thanks (mistermisterText for Wise / missmissText for Belle)!
(Obtain HIA Commemorative Coin ×1)
Nope, I'll pass.
Roy: Oh... come on...

Roy: Alright, now pickled seaweed is a must! Let's see what else I can get...
Hannah: Sold out here too...? I just wanna grab some coffee. Why's it gotta be so hard!
Hannah: The vending machine is broken, and all the ready-to-drink coffee is sold out in the convenience store... How am I supposed to survive tonight?
The vending machine is broken?
Hannah: Yeah, the one next to the store. I inserted quite a few Dennies, but nothing came out!
Hannah: I was so frustrated, I hit it with my "Rock-falling Punch" and "Water-cutting Kick" on it!
(Talk to Hannah again, optional)
Hannah: Actually... I checked my horoscope for this week, and I'm super unlucky... Maybe someone else could make that vending machine work?
(Interact with Automatic Vending Machine)
Automatic Vending Machine: This vending machine is operational, or at least it looks like it.
Automatic Vending Machine: The coin display says "1,500." Someone else must've dumped a truckload of Dennies. But all the buttons are dimmed.
Press a random button for coffee
Automatic Vending Machine: Suddenly, all the lights on the vending machine's buttons flash twice, and then...
Automatic Vending Machine: Nothing happens.
Press a random button for sparkling water
Automatic Vending Machine: Suddenly, all the lights on the vending machine's buttons flash twice, and then...
Automatic Vending Machine: Nothing happens.
Press the button for refunds
Press the button for refunds
Automatic Vending Machine: Ding! An HIA Commemorative Coin falls out of the coin return port. The coin seems to be the culprit for jamming the vending machine.
Automatic Vending Machine: All the buttons light up. Now this vending machine has truly gone back to normal.
Automatic Vending Machine: However, the button under the canned coffee is still lit up with the words "Sold Out."
(I should tell Hannah.)
(Return to Hannah)
Hannah: Ahh... I wonder when the vending machine will be fixed...
Good news is the vending machine is already fixed.
Hannah: Really? Wonderful! You're my hero!
And the bad news is... the canned coffee is sold out.
Hannah: ...And the hero falls. Oops, sorry, I didn't mean anything bad!
Hannah: It's just that my mood dropped like a roller coaster... A roller coaster with no seat belt.
Hannah: Forget about the coffee. Maybe I should just go to bed when I get tired.

(Talk to Hannah again, optional)
Hannah: Oh, right! I still have to get my Dennies back!
Jonah: What a waste... I should have exchanged it for Dennies...
(Talk to Jonah)
Jonah: What a shame. It's got a pretty pattern, but Godfinger won't accept it.
What pattern?
Jonah: Look, I found this weird coin, and I thought I could try my luck and see if I could insert it into a machine at Godfinger, but it didn't work.
Jonah: It's not a Denny, and I can't even use it at Godfinger... Having a nice design alone is pointless...
That's... an HIA Commemorative Coin!
Jonah: You know what this coin is? Is it a token from some arcade?
No, but I know how to use it.
Jonah: Oh, I see... Then I'll trade it to you for ten Godfinger tokens! What do you say?
Deal!
Jonah: Great! Take it! Ah...
Jonah: But wait... I gotta go home for dinner, or Grandma will get suspicious. And I can't just take the tokens home. If she sees them, it's game over...
Jonah: You can just owe me the ten tokens. You can give them to me next time you see me at Godfinger!
No problem!
Jonah: Hey! The fearless warrior has once again gained the power to challenge the Soul Hounds Queen!
(Obtained HIA Commemorative Coin ×1)
(Talk to Jonah again, optional)
Jonah: I hope it isn't a toast dinner again today.
Gerant: Sita just walked away... Wh—What should I do...?
What's happening?
Can I help with anything?
Gerant: O—Oh! D—Don't worry! I'm totally fine! What kind of security officer would I be if I needed help from the very citizens I'm supposed to protect? Hahaha...
Gerant: Actually... I could use your help!
Gerant: My partner should be just up ahead. Could you tell her that I'm waiting for her here...?
Why don't you just go talk to her yourself?
Gerant: F—Fine... I'll go... by myself... No! I can't! It's just too eerily dark and quiet up ahead...
Gerant: J—Just standing here looking into the street, it feels like there's no end to it. Some invisible, terrifying monster is just staring right back at me at the center of this never-ending darkness...
Gerant: It's not because I'm a coward or anything. I—It's just this street...
Gerant: Okay, I'm a coward! I admit it!
Gerant: A—Anyway, could you please call my colleague? She shouldn't be too far ahead. I appreciate it!
(Talk to Gerant again, optional)
Gerant: Oh, and p—please don't tell anyone about this... Please!
(Idle)
Sita: ...
(Talk to Sita)
Sita: Hmm...? You're a resident of this street right? Why are you still here so late?
Gerant is waiting for you on the main street.
Sita: Tsk... Sir Gerant huh... Let him wait.
Sita: Sorry about that embarrassing scene earlier. Sir Gerant is usually a tough and reliable guy, but when it gets late at night, he just becomes...
Sita: An imbecile.
Strong choice of words...
I couldn't agree more.
Sita: Especially when patrolling Sixth Street. He's always going on about ghosts and all that nonsense. I told him I could handle this street on my own, but he insists on coming with me, saying he doesn't want to let everyone down.
Sita: So it's a real pain every night. It takes us at least half an hour to walk down this short street. There's been times he got scared by stray cats halfway through and ran back to the main street.
Sita: Ah, I shouldn't have said all that embarrassing stuff about him. Sorry, consider it a joke. Anyway, I won't be going back. He's gotta complete this patrol all by himself this time.
He might end up sleeping on the street tonight.
He might just wait till the sun comes up.
Sita: ...You have a point there. That's probably what he'll end up doing. I think he needs a little nudge in the right direction.
Sita: I just found these two coins on the street.
They're HIA Commemorative Coins.
Sita: HIA Commemorative Coins? Whatever, never heard of 'em, and I bet Sir Gerant hasn't either. Please take these coins to him and tell him they are actually...
Sita: Amulets to ward off demons.
Sita: Maybe these "amulets" will give him the courage to face the darkness.
(Talk to Sita again, optional)
Sita: *sigh* I really hope things go better for him tonight.
(Return to Gerant)
Gerant: Oh, you're back! Where's my partner?
She asked me to give you this amulet.
Gerant: Hmm? I've never seen this coin before... Oh, wait! I remember reading about it in a novel!
Gerant: It's actually a talisman, and the strange symbols on it are runes that ward off darkness and evil spirits!
Gerant: As long as I keep this coin intact, I'll be protected from all those demons! Yeah, that's it!
Exactly!
I guess so?
Gerant: I just need to hold onto this one coin. You can take the other one if you want. I can sense you're a fellow traveler in the darkness. I'm sure it'll come in handy!
I guess I am...
You're not wrong.
Gerant: Might sound strange coming from me, but I really want to thank you for giving me the courage to keep going!
