Try this: (untested)

onready var amount = 20
onready var coin = preload("res://coin.tscn")

func _drop():

        for i in range(amount):
            var new_coin = coin.instance()
            get_parent().add_child(new_coin)
            print("coin: ", new_coin.name)
            # the nodename might help to debug

    pass

I dont think you want to decrease amount in the loop. This will probaly give you bugs, if you use _drop() a second time.

I’m also not sure, if you need “onready” for these variables.

It worked. Thank you!
