WHY AM I STILL COLLECTING SANTA COINS???

I just wish they would reward loyal, early finishers with some kind of reward like 5 or 10 donuts per 1000 santa coins left over at the end...

Sonny... I wish I could... lol but the urge is to great!! Must collect coins... :shock:

Actually, I suspect that the fact that the Santa coins "hide" now unless you make them show by tapping the conformity meter or on a coins-purchasable item means that EA is preparing us for their inevitable loss. Once we are accustomed to not seeing them, when they disappear, as did the Halloween currency, we may not notice it immediately. Our reward will be, as always, the privilege of playing a free game to which we have become addicted like crack.

I got SLH tonight and forced myself to start vandalising again when doing the 'rounds instead of automatically going for the coins. It was a bit tricky at first just because of force of habit (a holiday tree ready to collect was hardest to ignore) but I soon got back in the swing of spray-painting my friends' buildings and enjoying it again.

Try and get your 4-5 taps with vandalism. Or maybe not. By the 4rth time I do that I get booted from the game.

I keep feeling like if I don't keep collecting coins, then EA will do some trade up of sorts for them, and I'll get screwed because I stopped.

I wish we could give them to neighbors.

I'm only still collecting because I purposely went slow from the beginning. I didn't fill my list up with 100 friends, as it's just too many for me. When I did that during Halloween, I got sick of visiting so many friends, and eventually stopped until I cut down on my friends list. I also haven't been getting 3 coins from each of my friends on each visit, instead only getting 1 or 2 and then vandalizing. I only have a funzo doll left, that tbh I don't really want, but at least it's something to work towards.

After playing through Halloween, I didn't see a point in rushing, so I didn't. So instead of having 2 weeks with nothing to do but wait for the snow to melt, I have another week or so of saving.

I'm really surprised they don't add something to buy with coins (or candy/future currency) that is repeatable through the event. For instance candy cane striped light posts for Christmas for 125 coins or so. That would give us something to spend our excess on...and perhaps we wouldn't long for a nice shrubbery when the mystery box rolled around.

Excellent Idea!! Just the kind of thing to keep a mindless TAPPER such as myself busy with Santa-Coin collecting purpose! :wink:

I'm still collecting coins and doing the graffiti on friends buildings As well :) i think collecting the coins is like the rest of this game just to addictive!!! it just gotta be done while you can lol
