Coin Magnetism

"Oh, you're lucky, Sly! This page features Karin Coopergiwa's Coin Magnet technique. All she had to do was stand near money, and it would magically jump into her purse. From now on, you will automatically collect any coins you come near!"

- Bentley describing the power-up

Coin Magnetism is an upgrade in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus that allows the user to collect coins from a larger distance than before. It was invented by Sly Cooper's ancestor Karin Coopergiwa and is the fifth move obtained from a vault.

Coins, which previously required Sly to either touch them or hit them with his cane to collect, will now fly into his backpack from a distance. The move does not carry over to Sly 2: Band of Thieves or Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. However, it does return in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time as the treasure Coopergiwa's Gold Magnet, which is also obtained from a vault and serves the same function.
