Coin Case Glitches are those on Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal which involve the player activating the cry of a particular Pokémon and then using the Coin Case. Although these glitches are not the most beneficial many players decide to use one to activate a Glitch Dimension.

Type one - Glitch Dimension

Main article: Glitch Dimension

The most known coin case glitches cause a Glitch Dimension. Typically this type of Coin Case Glitch involves the player talking to the Machop who is flattening out the land in Vermillion City and then using the Coin Case in order to activate a Glitch Dimension, however the player does not need to talk to that particular machop because the cry of any machop including one in the Pokedex and similar cries can cause the same effect.

The cries of the following Pokémon can be used to start a Glitch Dimension, note that this list is incomplete.

1. Machop
2. Horsea
3. Celebi
4. Omanyte

Type two - 'Which move?PP of.'

Another type of Coin Case glitch (often named the 'Dratini glitch') involves the player activating the cry of certain Pokémon (typically Dratini) and then viewing the Coin Case. If the player does not own Dratini they can interact with the one on Pokémon Crystal. This type of Coin Case glitch essentially changes the amount of coins to 65535 which is displayed as 'Coins:Which move?PP of.' To change the amount of coins back to its normal quantity the player can activate the cry of any Pokémon not listed in this article such as Bulbasaur.

Effect three - 'Which move?'

A less known type of Coin Case glitch does not change the amount of coins to 'Which move?PP of' and instead simply changes the quantity to 'Which Move.' To change the amount of coins back to its normal quantity the player can activate the cry of any Pokémon not listed in this article such as Bulbasaur.

When various Pokémon cries are activated they may simply crash the game after the coin case is used. However not all Pokémon cries make the game crash in the same way.
