It’s lucky for you that there aren’t 50 to track down - but Seattle is dense with them all the same, and they’re very easy to miss. First we’ll drop a checklist of all of the coins and where they’re found, before going into the detailed instructions of where to pick up each one below. We have a complete list of every superhero trading card in The Last of Us 2, here. Of course, be warned. This page could be considered to coin-tain spoilers. But we’ve kept it as vague as possible so you could follow along on a first playthrough.

On the other side of Interbay, cross the river and climb through the blue wall, then look right, go through the broken window, and collect the Colorado coin from the end of the ledge outside.
The Descent Chapter - Illinois - At the bottom of the deep end of the swimming pool is the Illinois Coin - dive down to get it.
Oregon - It’s very dark and spooky in here, so it needs a bit more explaining than the others. When you’ve grabbed the hotel wifi safe and found Lev a gas mask, you boost him up to drop a fire hose to advance.
Slide down into the creepy hole and shimmy across the ledge past the vending machine. Make your way through the row of rooms and bathrooms on the other side until you get to a ledge where you have to drop down.
Continue around the corner dealing with the infected - get the flamethrower from the side bathroom - then drop down again. There are two clickers in room 1302 behind you as you drop down, but cross the beam in front of you to come face-to-face with a shambler. Cross the second beam over to the right, then jump down to the next level.
Turn around and jump across to room 1107, then grab the illusive Oregon coin from the nook on the right.
Wisconsin - From the last coin, continue down the building until you can see the outside windows and Abby says you’re making progress. Keep dropping down and you’ll eventually have to open a door into a spooky area. After you escape through the elevator door and jump down, smash the vending machine in front of you as soon as you come out of the shaft.
Rhode Island - Soon after, when you hit the outside and take your masks off, slide down the rubble and walk out into the outdoor bar area. Behind the counter in the middle is another quarter in front of a cash register.
Missouri - From the bar, go past the little bridge towards the hospital. Swim over to the hospital and when you’re inside the perimeter look over to the “Speciality Care Center” on your right. The last coin for this chapter is on the floor at the end of the hall.
Ground Zero Chapter - Washington - When you regain control at the Hospital, follow your friend. After you go downstairs, look for a small cafe on your left. The Washington coin is next to the cash register behind the counter.
Hawaii - As you come out of the boss area with You-Know-Who, look to your left and there’s 20 supplements on the side - right next to that, smash the glass to pick up the Hawaii Coin.
The Marina Chapter - Kansas - Again, right when you regain control at the start of this chapter, turn around and go back up the stairs behind you. The Kansas coin is on the other side of the railings.
Louisiana - Almost immediately after, when you go down the stairs to the Lenora St. Station, slip down the right-hand side of the platform inside of going up the stairs and ramp to find the Louisiana coin on the ground next to the train.

The Escape Chapter - Arkansas - After you meet back up with Lev, follow Yara’s lead through the Seraphite houses, then the bagel shop and flooded basement.
