Last Day on Earth: Survival (Kefir!) is one of the longest-running zombie survival games on mobile, with a constant cycle of seasons, raids and events. Its economy revolves around golden Coins, the currency you earn by playing and use to skip workbench timers, complete Raiders' tasks instantly, roll perks at the harbor lab sector terminal, buy from the Janitor or the pier Fisherman, and bid on attempts and upgrades during temporary events. Unlike other free-to-play games, there isn't a sharply separate premium currency here: Coins themselves fill that role, and they're earned purely by playing, with no need to pay. In this guide we cover the real, verified methods for stacking up Coins: completing daily and seasonal tasks, defending and looting bases, selling items, taking part in events and progressing the Season Pass. We'll also explain why you should avoid the so-called 'coin generators' floating around the internet, since they're scams or account-theft attempts, not a legitimate source of resources.
What's the fastest way to get Coins in Last Day on Earth: Survival?
We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Coins, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.
Complete daily and weekly tasks
The game automatically generates daily tasks (kill 20 zombies at a location, survive 5 waves, open 10 chests, etc.) with a 24-hour limit. Completing them gives progress points and rewards that include Coins, plus materials you can later sell. It's the steadiest, lowest-risk source: it doesn't require advanced gear or risking your base, just daily consistency. Check the task panel every time you open the game so nothing goes unclaimed before it expires.
Progress the Season Pass (free track)
Every season (which lasts several weeks) has a free Season Pass track with rewards per level, including Coins at various tiers. You level up by completing delivery contracts, standard tasks and defeating season bosses, all of which grant season experience. You don't need to pay for Premium or Premium+ to get a share of these Coins: just play actively during the weeks the season runs and don't skip the contracts available.
Sell spare items to traders
The Janitor and the pier Fisherman buy items you no longer need in exchange for Coins and other resources. As you level up and unlock more looting zones, you'll build up surplus materials, obsolete weapons and crafting pieces you don't use: instead of hoarding or discarding them, check periodically what these NPCs will offer for them. It's not the most profitable source on its own, but it complements daily tasks well at no added cost, since you're making use of loot that would otherwise go unused.
Complete Horace the trader's assignments
The trader Horace offers assignments that earn you keys and other rewards, including Coins at certain streaks or milestones. These assignments usually ask you to deliver a certain amount of resources or complete specific looting objectives, so it's worth checking them before heading out to explore, to plan your route and avoid wasted trips. It's a secondary method, but free and with no direct combat risk.
Take part in raids if your level allows it
Starting at level 150, the Raid system unlocks: you complete five tasks for the Raiders (they can vary each time) and in exchange get the location of an enemy base to loot. In revenge raids there's no loot split with the Raiders, so you keep everything you take, including Coins and sellable items. It's a high-tier method: it requires good gear and knowing the base's layout before going in, since the risk of losing your own resources is real if the attack goes wrong.
Defend your base from enemy attacks
When other players try to loot your base, successfully defending it (turrets, traps and your own character if you're online) prevents resource losses and, in certain season configurations, grants extra rewards, including Coins. Investing in solid defenses — reinforced walls, automatic turrets — not only protects what you already have, but turns every failed raid attempt into a small reward extra. Check the attack log regularly.
Take advantage of temporary events and official codes
Kefir! runs limited events (like the Bunker Alpha one, where you earn reward coupons) and, occasionally, promo codes that hand out free Coins, usually around anniversaries (May) or one-off collaborations. Official codes are only published on Last Day on Earth's official page and Facebook blog, or shared by verified content creators in legitimate giveaways. Never enter your account on third-party sites promising to 'generate' Coins: it's the main way accounts get stolen in this game.
How much free Coins can you get per month?
| Source | Estimated amount |
|---|---|
| Completed daily tasks | Variable (steady if you play daily) |
| Free Season Pass progress | Variable depending on level reached |
| Sales to Janitor/Fisherman | Variable depending on spare items |
| Raids and base defense | Variable, depends on level and success |
| Events and official codes | Variable, one-off spikes |
| Estimated total | Not quantifiable |
The amount of Coins earned depends directly on player level, time invested each day and the active season, with no fixed rate published by the studio. There's no official aggregated monthly data, so any specific figure would be an unverifiable estimate; the honest answer is that income is variable and scales with player activity.

Frequently asked questions
Are there free Coin generators for Last Day on Earth: Survival?
No. Every website and video promising Coin or Coupon generators 'with no human verification' is a scam or an attempt to steal your credentials. Kefir! doesn't offer any external tool for generating resources; the only legitimate source is playing or, occasionally, promo codes published on the studio's official channels.
What's the difference between Coins and Coupons/Gold in this game?
Coins are the main currency, earned by playing (tasks, trading, raids, events) and used to skip crafting time, roll perks or buy from NPCs. Coupons (Ration, Survival Kit and Combat Gear) are obtained mainly by clearing Bunker Alpha floors and are exchanged for supply crates at the corresponding terminal; there are also limited premium-resource routes tied to events and the Premium Season Pass, which does require payment if you want the full track.
Is it worth doing raids just to get Coins?
Raids (from level 150) can pay off well because you keep everything looted in revenge attacks, but they carry risk: you need to complete five Raider tasks and have good gear to enter the enemy base. If your character doesn't yet have solid armor and weapons, it's more profitable to focus first on daily tasks and trading, and save raids for when you can afford to lose resources if the attack goes wrong.
