A coin pouch is an item obtained from pickpocketing certain NPCs, which contains several coins depending on the NPC it was obtained from. To obtain the coins from them, players can simply click their stack of coin pouches to open them all at once, or they can right-click them to open one at a time. They cannot be traded or banked.

Up to 28 coin pouches can stack in a player's inventory, after which the player must open them to collect the coins inside before being able to pickpocket more. This limit can be increased by completing the Ardougne Diary, where it increases to 56, 84, and 140 after completing the Medium, Hard, and Elite diaries, respectively.

Coin pouches have different variants depending on who the player pickpocketed it from; for example, a coin pouch from pickpocketing guards does not stack with pouches from pickpocketing Ardougne knights. NPCs who are pickpocketed via blackjacking yield coins directly while they are knocked out instead of coin pouches. If rogue equipment is used to receive double the loot from pickpocketing, only one coin pouch is obtained (containing the normal amount) while the other half is obtained directly as coins.

Trivia

  • Previously, pickpocketing NPCs would directly yield coins instead of coin pouches. The coin pouch was added as a method to combat autoclicking while keeping experience rates as similar as possible.
  • Minutes after release, the game servers were turned off due to an issue caused by coin pouches where on death, any stackable items other than the coin pouch were turned into a maximum stack of coins (2,147,483,647). Jagex had to perform the first ever roll back in OSRS history to the time of the update, and after approximately six hours, the servers were online again.[1]
  • The thieving memento collected during the 25th Anniversary event represents a coin pouch. However, the examine text calls it a "pouch of coins".
