Golden Walnuts are the currency of the parrots on Ginger Island. The amount of Golden Walnuts that a player has saved is displayed directly beneath the player's picture in the skills tab. Walnuts are shared amongst players in Multiplayer.
You can find Golden Walnuts by picking them from walnut plants, digging dirt encircled in pebbles, digging sand encircled in starfish, digging a lighter square patch of dirt, killing monsters, fishing, mining, breaking golden coconuts, or breaking crates in the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island. Harvesting crops on the Ginger Island farm can also sometimes drop golden walnuts.
Parrot Hints
The parrot in Leo's home will squawk hints for walnut locations when you interact with them. If quantities are named, they will change as the player finds them.
