With the first wave of Xür selling the acclaimed [i]Three Of Coins[/i] and you losing a butt load of Strange Coins, you may consider the best way to effectively using your new found exotic engram farmer. Here, I'll tell you [b][i]My Best Way[/i][/b]
First off, buy around 20 plus ToC from Xür(located in the left wing of the tower in front of the big door)
Next, you'll be heading to Venus to spam the 'Eye of A Gate Lord' mission. The rest is simple
Use [b][i]ONE[/i][/b] ToC to attain the buff, that's all you'll need. Get to the boss and activate the synch plate and kill the boss. Immediately run under the boss to pick up any drops.
Regardless of whether you get a drop or not, immediately return to Orbit, don't kill yourself as there seems to be a penalty to drop rates if you do. Now all that's left is to load up the mission again and rinse, lather, and repeat to your hearts content!
After testing for a bit, it seems the drop rates for getting an engram, on average are [b][i]20%[/i][/b] around 2 of every 10 will result in a drop. I will update if I find any new information. Hope this helps guardians!
Side note, my first two drops were a gauntlet and primary engram!

I tried 15 coins, got only one exotic drop. (also ended up with one rare (blue) drop) 21 strange coins for an exotic fusion rifle that I'll never use. Not very pleased right now.

**THIS IS A GREAT POST** Big thanks for the info. I've done two runs and one had a Sublime Legendary chest engram, the other was an exotic sniper engram which turned out to be HEREAFTER. Thanks again for sharing this. Best community ; )

I used 40 coins and in total got 8 engrams, 4 gauntlets, 2 primary, 1 special and a helmet

Awesome post, thanks for the tip! This does work, I bought two packages and ended up with 10 to use, out of it I got four gauntlets: 2 sealed ahamkara grasps and one don't touch me for my hunter One Titan immolation fists All in all im super pleased, I was hoping for an exotic primary gun, but I can always find out some strange coins and try to get some moreToC. It's really a win win no matter what you get because even if you don't need the item or get a duplicate it still breaks down into an exotic shard.

I was doing the same thing , after my 12th exotic engram using Three of Coins gives me a buff and it goes away without getting an exotic. :(

How does the ToC expire?
