Throwing Away Money

Throwing Away Money is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
== Acquisition ==
Acquired when the first Caprice Coin is found at the Winter Palace during the main quest, Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts.
== Walkthrough ==
The coins are hidden throughout the Winter Palace and are found by using the search function when in very close proximity.
Some coins will only appear in certain phases of the main quest. They are shown below in chronological order (as the main quest progresses).
It's important to note that the coin from the west storage closet will be permanently unavailable if not picked up during the first phase. Additionally, note that in order to retrieve ALL of the coins, you must open the lower Guest Gardens halla door (costs 3 halla statuettes) AND the Royal Quarters halla door (costs 5 halla statuettes). Combine this with the upper Guest Gardens halla door (costs 1 halla statuette and is required to advance the main quest), this makes it impossible to complete the coin collection and reconcile Briala and the Empress in the same playthrough, as the item required for this is through the halla door for Celene's Vault (costs 3 halla statuettes).
