B-tier
Every 20 tears, Isaac loses 1 coin and shoots an additional gold tear that petrifies enemies and turns them into gold. Any enemy killed while in this state will drop coins.

"Gold tears!"
Effects
- Adds a golden tear every 20 tears fired, which causes enemies to turn gold and petrifies them for a few seconds (similar to Midas' Touch) at the cost of one coin. Golden tears can still be fired if Isaac has no money.
- Unlike other tear effects, golden tears are fired alongside regular tears rather than replacing a regular tear.
- With multi-shot abilities, whichever tear is the 20th since previous will produce the additional golden tear.
- The golden tear does 2x normal damage.
- Enemies killed while golden will drop 1-4 coins.
