Best Answer

not all of them are.

Round is an economical shape. Shapes with angles or corners wear faster and in the minting process are more difficult to place for stamping.

What club penguin game gives you the most coins?

I think pizzatron2000 or dancing. >>> Actually, The Ice fishing game gives you the most coins, yesterday i had 55 coins and i played it 3 times, and i got 800 coins.. sooooo. you need to play that if you want more coins! Those are good games, but the game you can get the MOST coins in is the puffle roundup. you can get around 98 coins per round and each round takes (for me) about 15-20 sec. you could get 1000 coins easy. I think Paint by Letters give you the most because it could give you up to 800 if you find all the secret coins in Lime Green Dojo Clean or Burnt Out Bulbs
