Head of the Keeper is a passive item added in Afterbirth.
Effects
- Enemies have a 5% chance to drop a penny when hit with Isaac's tears.
- Turns Isaac's tears into coins (cosmetic effect).
Notes
- Hitting the front side of enemies such as the Knight will still produce coins, even though the enemy does not sustain any damage. This can be exploited to produce an infinite amount of coins from a single enemy. However this won't work with defensive Hosts.
- Enemies that spawn other enemies, globins, or enemies that regain health can also be farmed for infinite money.
- Head of the Keeper does not work with The Forgotten but will work with The Soul.
Interactions
- Brimstone: Overrides Head of the Keeper.
- Azazel's short ranged Brimstone also overrides Head of the Keeper.
- Death's Touch: Tears retain Death's Touch's cosmetic effect (scythes) but both items are fully active.

- Euthanasia: Main tears can cause enemies to drop pennies; however, burst tears do not.
- Haemolacria: Only the main tear retains the effect of Head of the Keeper.
- Ipecac: Because Ipecac's high damage will quickly kill enemies, and because enemies will often be hit with explosions rather than tears themselves, coins will not drop as frequently.

- Technology: Overrides Head of the Keeper.
- Tech X: Overrides Head of the Keeper.
- Trisagion: Overrides Head of the Keeper. Coin debris will still appear after beams dissipate.
