Understanding their purpose is one thing, but acquiring Old Coins can be a bit tedious. Thankfully, there are several methods to collect them. The easiest way is to spot them on the overworld; they appear as glowing pillars that only become visible when you're close. To locate them from a distance, use the Eyes of the Sacred Bird.
Another method involves boosting your relationship with other NPCs. By completing their requests, you can enhance your bond with officers. Once your relationship reaches a certain level, you can engage in a conversation that not only grants you Old Coins but also further strengthens your bond.
Lastly, as you complete missions and increase the peace level in each region of China, you'll be rewarded with items upon reaching certain thresholds, including Old Coins. While accumulating enough coins for the best rewards may take time, persistent play will eventually yield significant benefits.
