There are coins in SMB 2. They are in subspace instead of the vegatables which you go into by picking up a potion in certain spots. The key in SMB you were missing is in one of the pots. To do a big jump in SMB2 hold down wait for mario to glow then jump.
True, though - this is not some sort of a Rom hack but rather cause of emulator settings... It's when you play a PAL version on an emulator being configured for NTSC (or vice versa?)
in SMB2, the cherries are point sources, but the coins are there. In some bush you find a potion bottle, when you find it, throw it, you will notice that a door will appear, enter, you will find a mushroom, if you try to collect the bushes in the place (after entering through the door), you will collect a super mario bros 2 coin (which is an "old secret/top secret" in the game). MORAL: cherries are not coins P.S. - I have an nintendo switch LOL
whats funny is. the cherry isn't a coin in mario 2. the cherries (if collected enough) give a bonus heart to heal you up. coins are found in secret rooms from red door potions. so really you could go through the ENTIRE mario 2 game. and not collect a single "coin" EDIT: cherries. not cherry's

SMB2 coins are coins, found by pulling off grass when you're in the parallel dimension that you access by entering the door made by a potion, cherries, if you collect 5 of them, make a star appear
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around And Desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie And And hurt you
Actually, Super Mario 2 does have coins. You acquire by pulling a plant while inside the potion door area, and they are used for a slots minigame at the end of the level.
