Kill Ancient Skeletons

Another method, though not remotely guaranteed, is to kill Ancient Skeletons. This is a new type of skeleton that has been added to Sea of Thieves with the Smuggler's Fortune update. These blue and gold skeletons dig out of the ground and run from you, and if you kill them before they disappear, you'll get a nice supply of Ancient Coins.

Unfortunately, these skeletons are entirely random and quite rare, so don't rely on these. If you do manage to kill one, reports are that you'll receive 100 or so of the new premium currency. Not enough to buy anything, though it's a nice bump to your wallet.

Bing rewards

By using the Bing search engine, you can earn points toward a reward like an Xbox gift card, which can be used on Ancient Coins.

The final way to get Ancient Coins in Sea of Thieves is a little lengthy but perfect for those who don't mind a bit of time investment. Microsoft's search engine Bing has a reward program. Each search you do, you will receive some points, earn enough points and you can redeem them for an Xbox gift card. This gift card can then be used to purchase a stack of Ancient Coins.

As mentioned, this is a long-term investment option. You will need to amass 5,000 points to redeem a gift card, and you can only earn 30 points a day. This equates to roughly 160 days of searches. This is an excellent option for those who are willing to wait and who are looking to save a few dollars. Shout out to Reddit user Gerald_Yankensmier for bringing this strategy to our attention.

You can purchase them from the Pirate Emporium for real-world money, earn them from killing Ancient Skeletons, or even buy them with an Xbox gift card through Bing rewards.
