Who put the coins in the Mario Universe?
According to canon: (from the official instruction booklet, according to this FAQ)
Once upon a time, the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the Koopa, a
tribe of turtles famous for their dark magic. These terrible terrapins
transformed the peace-loving Mushroom People into stones, bricks, and
ironically, mushrooms then set their own evil king on the throne. In the wake
of the ghastly coup d'‚tat, the beautiful Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin and
despair. It is said that only the daughter of the Mushroom King, Princess
Toadstool, can break the evil spell and return the inhabitants of the Mushroom
Kingdom to their normal selves. But the King of the Koopas, knowing of this
prophecy, kidnapped the lovely Princess and hid her away in one of his castles.
Word of the terrible plight of the Mushroom People quickly spread throughout
the land, eventually reaching the ears of a humble plumber. The simple, yet
valiant Mario vowed to rescue the Princess from King Koopa's tyrannous reign.
But can Mario really overcome the many obstacles facing him and become a true
hero?
So that explains where most of the characters and power-ups came from. But it doesn't explain where all the coins came from. Is there anywhere in Mario canon that does?

"The Mushroom Kingdom is dotted with these mysterious coins. There seems to be an endless supply hidden in various blocks, and Mario gains an extra life when he manages to collect a hundred of them. No one can confirm whether or not these coins are actually used as the currency of the Mushroom Kingdom, but it's a safe assumption."
