Three Coin Locations
Notably, the coin puzzle in Silent Hill 2 Remake has important missing pieces. To complete the puzzle, you’ll need to find three coins: a Man Coin, a Snake Coin, and a Woman Coin.
Man Coin Location
The Man Coin can be found in Room 206 of the Wood Side Apartments on the second floor. To access the room, you need to enter Room 208 and move the huge cabinet to reveal an open gap in the wall. This leads you to Room 206, which has a locked safe at the center of the room. You must find the code to open the safe and retrieve the Man Coin inside it.
Check our Room 206 guide for more details on the safe code puzzle, but for the short version, the code is Right 13, Left 7, Right 11.
Snake Coin Location
The Snake Coin is in the pool area. It can be accessed by climbing through the window just across the room where you met Eddie for the first time. The coin can be found inside a pram in the middle of the pool. Be cautious as the area has multiple enemies, which can easily be avoided.
Woman Coin Location
The Woman Coin is lodged in a garbage chute and won’t be able to be retrieved until you reach the laundry in Room 312. Once you’re in the laundry room, grab the Canned Juice on the table, then throw the Canned Juice down the chute to dislodge the Woman Coin.

Three bright coins, three actors in play,
