In the Korean version, AG (Ace Gold) money is not present. It has Donkatsu Medals, which can be utilized to open a few classic and premium crates. Players stand a chance to win exciting rewards from these crates.

Players can likewise get this currency by finishing in-game tasks and events. They can also procure them as part of the every day login reward. Consequently, players can open more crates, spending no actual money.

However, the global variant abstains from offering any such medal, and all the premium and classic crates can only be opened with coupon scraps or by spending UCs.
