==Appearance==
Nekoin has the appearance of a pink, cat-shaped coin with a cat face on both sides. It has two dark-red eyes and little violet eyelashes that stick out a little when viewed from the side. It is constantly on the move through Shield-Folk World, making it a bit difficult to find and catch. As such, it is recommended to bring the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Bicycle|Bicycle]] effect to catch up to it. Once caught and interacted with, it will give [[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki|Madotsuki]] the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Cat|Cat]] effect.

==Interaction==
It is constantly on the move and spins around quickly. It's hard to catch it as it travels around randomly. Using the [[Effects#Stoplight_.2F_Traffic_Light_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.97.E3.82.93.E3.81.94.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Stoplight]] or the [[Effects#Bicycle_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.98.E3.81.A6.E3.82.93.E3.81.97.E3.82.83.EF.BC.89|Bicycle]] when trying to catch it is highly recommended. It shows a normal reaction to the [[Effects#Cat_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.AD.E3.81.93.EF.BC.89|Cat]] and the [[Effects#Knife_.2F_Kitchen_Knife.EF.BC.88.E3.81.BB.E3.81.86.E3.81.A1.E3.82.87.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Knife]] effects.
