Can we donate pins/coins to a friend?

JessIYarn

Good morning, good evening everyone!
I have a friend who created an account today. I'm excited for her to get started. Is there a way to give her some of my pins/coins?
IIRC, way back when, people would get into trouble for begging for coins, but is there really a way to give them to a friend?
I tried to find tips or info regarding how to do that, but I didn't find anything.
Any suggestions?
TIA
:)

Hi!
I think you can send pins going to Settings/Credits/Transfer.
And there is the option of rating too.

Thanks! I was able to navigate to Settings/Credits, but I don't see anything even close to Transfer.
Maybe I should look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes.

Maybe you need higher than Diy1 to do it.

but this is the link to the page.

Mine always has my userid filled in automatically to transfer to but you just change that to the userid of the person you want to send to.

Be aware that for some reason whatever amount you send the system sends it twice so make the transfer half of what you actually want to send.

If you can't send any due to your level if your friend posts here I'll be happy to send them some pins as a gift.

Thanks for the additional information!

It must not be something available at DIY.1.
Thank you for your generous offer. That's very kind of you and appreciated, but unnecessary.
