Currency

In Jurassic World: The Game, several different Currencies are used to progress through the game. There are four types as of current. All currencies can be bought at the resource store.

Coin
Coins are the primary currency in Jurassic World: The Game. They are used to activate the Food Production Facility and buy Buildings and Decorations. Coins are collected from almost any action in the game, including from dinosaurs, buildings, completing missions, winning coins on the prize wheel after a live arena match, or from Card Packs.

Food
Food is a much more important currency than Coin. Unlike in Jurassic Park Builder, where food was split into Meat and Crops, Jurassic World: The Game combines the two into a single currency, Food. Food is used to level up dinosaurs. It can be obtained primarily via the Food Production Facility, but it can also be obtained from completing missions, earning it from the prize wheel, or from Card Packs.

DNA
DNA is an extremely valuable currency, used to both buy dinosaurs and fuse dinosaurs together. Unlike both Food and Coins, however, DNA cannot be collected from a facility or building. It can only be obtained by winning it on the prize wheel, completing missions, selling dinosaurs, or from Card packs.

Additionally, DNA can be used to create hybrids, although it often costs several hundred to fuse two dinosaurs together.

Bucks
Bucks are another currency in Jurassic World: The Game, and are used to speed up most processes in the game. For example, bucks can be used to speed up the hatching time of a dinosaur in the Hatchery, or speed up the fusion process of two dinosaurs in the Creation Lab.

Eventually, the Food Production Facility can be upgraded from level 6 to level 7, for a total of 1,000 bucks, and again from level 7 to level 8, for a total of 3,000 bucks.

VIP Points
VIP Points are a currency added with the VIP System in the 6/30/16 update. They are gained from opening card packs and from trading. VIP Points can be spent on VIP Card Packs which can contain various forms of currency, and depending on which pack is bought, a single VIP-exclusive creature, building, or decoration. VIP Points can also be used to enter VIP-exclusive battles, similar to Bucks and Coins.

Trivia

 * Both Bucks and Coins have returned from Jurassic Park Builder, but DNA and Food are entirely new.
 * In Jurassic Park Builder, Food was split into two different currencies, Meat and Crops. Meat was used to level up Carnivores, and Crops was used to level up Herbivores.
