This sound comes from Terraria, the 2D sandbox action-adventure game developed by Re-Logic and first released in 2011. The coin pickup effect became familiar to players through constant use during farming, looting and inventory management. Online, the Terraria coin sound is often reused in short gaming edits, pixel-art memes and reward screens because it communicates money or a successful pickup in less than a second. Its clean, instantly readable tone keeps it popular well beyond clips taken directly from the game.
