Money Idol Exchanger (known outside of Japan as Money Puzzle Exchanger) is a tile-matching puzzle game developed and released by Face for arcade games (with Neo Geo MVS hardware), exclusive to Japan on January 17, 1997. In this parody of the Magical Girl, players must place coin tiles (similar to the Data East's Magical Drop series) to convert their denominations and remove them from the board (similar to the Fujitsu Moujiya series). Although the game has never been released outside of Japan, it does have a built-in English localization (which is shown when the cartridge is used on international Neo Geo MVS boards). The game features 8 different types of "blocks": 6 types based on Japanese coinage and 2 special blocks. Coins of the same denomination can be chained, to convert them into higher value coins; for example, if you put two 5 yen coins next to each other, they will become a 10 yen coin, and 5 10 yen coins will be converted into a 50 yen coin. This model continues up to 500 yen coins; two five hundred yen coins placed next to each other will disappear, helping to clear the player's side and repel the coins on the opponent's side. If at any time the coins touch the bottom of the screen, the player loses. Due to the similarity to the Magical Drop series, the developers sued Data East for copyright infringement. which will help clear the player's side and push back the coins on the opponent's side.
