By grabbing an [[object]] as it [[unload]]s, Mario can [[load]] nearby coins to hold them instead. When he collects it, the clone does not update the [[Coin Spawner|coin spawner]]'s flag and so does not count as collected, but still increments the [[coin counter]].
By grabbing an [[object]] as it [[unload]]s, Mario can hold a fake object. A coin may load into the fake object's slot and Mario can then hold the coin. If the coin comes from a coin spawner, Mario can load the coin again by leaving and re-entering the coin spawner's radius, which would theoretically lead to infinite coins; however, each clone takes up an object slot, so unless a method of resetting the level such as a loading zone or sub-area is available, only a finite number of coins can be cloned before the object limit is reached and the game crashes.

==Money Bag Duplication==
Money bag duplication is a glitch which causes a [[money bag]] to duplicate itself into two money bags. By waking it up on the same frame it goes to sleep, you can cause it to create an awake one as well as an asleep one. Since these are technically separate objects, there are now two money bags. Money bag duplication can be used to get infinite coins in [[Snowman's Land]].

* In the [[ABZ Challenge]], extra moneybags are useful for some stars in [[Snowman's Land]] because you can bounce on them to get extra height.
