A computer-implemented method and system are described to provide virtual currency in a virtual game. The method may record a purchase value of a value icon in a virtual game. The value icon may then be deployed in the virtual environment of the virtual game. For each of a plurality of reference time periods, interaction of a player of the virtual game with the value icon may be monitored, and a virtual currency amount may be awarded to the player in the event of the player interacting with the value icon a set number of instances during each of the reference time periods. Further virtual currency may be denied upon subsequent interaction with the value icon during the same reference time period.
