Large earth coins



Large earth coins are enormous round coins that Earthbenders take control of using their abilities by spinning them at opponents. Inspired by actual Earth Kingdom currency, the coins could be lined by side-by-side for a defensive, mobile wall or stacked to make an impromptu lookout tower. Skilled Earthbenders can use these coins as a vehicle and "ride" in the hole in the middle of the coins.

History
When Team Avatar took rest at the Earth Kingdom fortress of General Fong, the General and his troops used these large earth coins to attack Aang in an attempt to trigger the Avatar State.

These coins were used as a weapon again by an Earth Rumble VI contestant, The Big Bad Hippo. He swung one of these coins around in an attempt to knock down Toph. She then defeated the triple threat of The Big Bad Hippo, The Boulder, and the Headhunter by turning one of these large coins embedded in the floor of the arena with her Earthbending, causing the Headhunter to slam into the other two.

Several of these coins could also be seen partially destroyed around the outskirts of the plains village some time later.

Trivia

 * They resemble ancient Chinese coins, which had a similar design, albeit thinner.
