[[Image:DQVIII_Mini_Medal.png|thumb|right|200px|''Dragon Quest VIII'''s Mini Medal]]

A '''mini medal''' is an item hidden throughout many ''Dragon Quest'' games. They are often found in chests of drawers, treasure chests, and other searchable locations. Collected mini medals can be exchanged for various prizes in the game in which they are found.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===

Mini medals only appear in the remakes of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. They are collected by a man living in the well in [[Aliahan]].

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===

In ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', mini medals are collected by a king who lives in [[Medal King's Palace#Dragon Quest IV|Minikin's Dominion]].

|1||[[Staff of divine wrath]]

|4||[[Happy hat]]

|6||[[Miracle sword]]

In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, the number of medals and prizes earned was changed to follow the system used in more recent ''Dragon Quest'' games:

|15||[[Strength ring]]

|20||[[Ruby of protection]]

|25||[[Magical skirt]]

|30||[[Staff of divine wrath]]

|34||[[Kerplunk bracer]]

|38||[[Miracle sword]]

|43||[[Happy hat]]

|47||[[Mighty armlet]]

|52||[[Liquid metal shield]]

|60||[[Gringham whip]]

In the DS version it isn't possible to obtain the Gringham Whip until [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 6|Chapter 6]] as the [[Pioneer Town]] can't be completed until that Chapter. The [[Cell phone]] version of the game accelerates the completion of the town, thus allowing all prizes to be obtained before ending the main game/[[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]

 

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===

Mini medals can be brought to King Dominicus in [[Medal King's Palace#Dragon Quest V|the southernmost island of the world]]. No version of ''V'' has adopted the cumulative system seen in later games and every prize must be paid for individually.
