How to get free coins in Pokémon Go: Hit the gym every day

The only way to get 'free' PokéCoins is to install your Pokémon at gyms to help defend them. You can earn 10 PokéCoins per gym defender you have stationed at a gym. Then you have to wait 21 hours before you can cash in the bonus again.

To get the most PokéCoins this way, figure out a selection of gyms that you can walk to and conquer easily. If your team already controls the gym, you can place one of your Pokémon there to help defend if there's a slot available.
