Money Idol Exchanger

Money Idol Exchanger (also known as Money Puzzle Exchanger in the US) is a puzzle game created in 1997 by Japanese video game developer Face for the Neo-Geo MVS arcade system. Athena Co. Ltd. ported it to the Game Boy and the PlayStation that same year. Money Idol Exchanger is a stacking game similar to the Magical Drop, Astro Pop, Moujya and Puzzle Bobble series whereby players race to prevent a perpetually falling array of coins in different values from filling up the screen. Coins are combined (vertically and/or horizontally) to form higher valued coins; for example, five '1' coins will form a '5' coin, and two '5' coins will form a '10' coin, and so on, until two '500' coins are put together, at which point both disappear. Coins are arranged and colored to match denominations of the yen specie. Two bonus tiles allow for changes in gameplay.
