"A tiny medal. Gather enough and you can exchange them for incredible prizes!"
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.
Prizes

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

| 5 | Thorn whip |
| 10 | Garter |
| 20 | Edged boomerang |
| 30 | Strength ring |
| 35 | Scholar's specs |

Dragon Quest IV
In Dragon Quest IV, mini medals are collected by a king who lives in Minikin's Dominion.
In the NES version, a total of 32 medals could be found, which were used as a separate currency for the prizes offered by the medal king. A player could get more than one of the same prize offered by the medal king.
| Medals | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | Staff of divine wrath |
| 4 | Happy hat |
| 6 | Miracle sword |
| 20 | Liquid metal helm |
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:
| Medals | Prize |
|---|---|
| 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 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/Chapter 5
