Bloonstones

Bloonstones are a type of currency in Bloons Monkey City and its mobile counterpoint. Their appearance is of a blue gem shard and are obtained through multiple ways, including completing a tile with no lives lost (rewards 5, 10 in Hardcore Mode, or 2 on mobile), leveling up (rewards 20 on flash or 4 on mobile), winning a Volcano Terrain tile, a cave tile, and certain Special Missions, or by watching some videos (earns a varying amount of Bloonstones, not available to everyone). On mobile, sending the first MvM attack will give 5 each GMT day and 2 after that attack. They can also be earned in the Wheel Of Fate by spinning each time you level up on Ninja Kiwi. Bloonstones in Bloons Monkey City Mobile are shaped like a bloon and are red like the red bloon.

They are also able to be bought via NK Coins in the Flash version or real life currency in the Mobile version at the Premium store. For each Ninja Kiwi coin, the player is able to purchase 5, though the more NK Coins or currency the player decides to spend, the more bonus Bloonstones they will receive.
