The mechanism of acquiring studs, i.e. the special coins is not much different, as compared with the previous LEGO games. Still, they appear in several color varieties, which symbolizes their value. I recommend that you, first of all, search for the blue and the violet ones, because they are worth, respectively, 1000 and 10000 points.

You can acquire coins in many various ways, where the most obvious one is collecting the ones that are within sight. Also, it is advisable that you smash the objects in the environment because, nearly always, they are hiding some coins. Apart from that, you can acquire studs thanks to building objects, from the bricks that are lying on the ground, by solving minigames or by defeating enemies.

Note - in the case of the coins that are not permanently put where you can see them, you need to take into account the fact that they mat, irreversibly, disappear. Therefore, you should try to collect all of the studs and always start with the ones that are the most valuable (golden, blue and violet).

The Master Burglar status is awarded after you collect the required number of points (the value is different for each stage) - 6. Studs (Coins) | LEGO The Hobbit - LEGO The Hobbit in 10 Easy Steps - LEGO The Hobbit Game Guide & Walkthrough

The collection of coins takes place not only for your own satisfaction, because there are several important mechanisms of the game connected with them. One of such mechanisms are the challenges, in the main stages of the game. If you collect a pre-determined number of coins in a given mission (at the first stage, it is 130000), you will be awarded the status of Master Burglar and it is one of the requirements for the completion of the game in 100%.

You can spend the studs that you find, on various things and in my opinion, the most important of these are the new playable characters. You can find them during the free exploration of the game world (more information about that in step 2) and, unfortunately, hiring them is very costly (several hundreds of thousands of studs, on average). Therefore, I recommend that you comb through all of the locations tat you explore and collect as many as possible.

Note - do not worry if you fail to obtain the abovementioned status of Master Burglar, during a given stage in the game's storyline. Often, this becomes possible only during the Free Plat, because many of the secret chambers, apart from collectibles, also hide many coins.
