Introduction
Hi readers. I finally reached the end of my game, and I wanted to complete all the achievements. The one that I thought would certainly take the most time was of course Unassessably Wealthy, which requires you to collect 10 billion studs. After a little experimentation, I found this loading boundary to quickly finish this achievement in less than 5 minutes.

This of course requires you to have completed the mithril brick quest at this location, and having all the coin multipliers and attract stud red bricks is recommended.
Where to go
The exploit is achieved on the small island to the west of Caradhras. You should fast travel to the Caradhras Eagle Statue, located south of Rivendale.



Looking to the back of the statue, go down here towards the ring race.



Cross the Bridge at the bottom to this island.



Once across, go over the cliff straight ahead.



Over the cliff you will see the Purple coin we will be collecting.



Stand here to perform the exploit.




How to preform this exploit
This is very easy to do.

First you must figure out where the loading boundary is. I drew an approximation of the boundary's location with the red line.


Standing where I am in the picture above is out of this purple coin's zone. Once you cross this line, the purple coin will spawn, allowing you to pick it up.

Then, go cross the line, and cross it again and the purple coin will spawn again. Repeat this as much as you like.

With the attract stud brick, crossing the line is close enough to pick it up. Therefore, all you need to do is go back and forth across the line. Once you get the hang of it, you can collect more than one coin a second.
Ending thoughts
Yes, that's really all there is to it. I flew around, and reloaded the game a few times, and the exploit still worked each time I went here. Clearly the devs don't really care about this game as we never got the final movie dlc, so it's very unlikely that this gets patched out.

I hope this guide is easy enough to understand. I tried to make it as clear as possible, however, I'm not very good at explaining things like this. Please try this yourself, see if it works for you.

Thank you for reading, I hope you have an easier time getting the Unassessably Wealthy achievement.

If this helped you out, I'd appreciate a rating and a thumbs up. Thanks!

Edit 4/2/2020: Fixed up a few typos, and changed some wording. This was found almost 5 years ago and still works so don't worry about it being patched.

Does not work for me. I can run a lap around the island and it does not respawn.

Wanted to add that I found you can grind it even faster by doing small clockwise circles/rotations on the spider next to the ore vein.

This saved me a long grind for that last achievement. One thing I'd add is that if you have the mithril horse shoes you can run tiny circles around the dark spot on the ground (where you have Bilbo standing in the next to last image) and collect 3-4 coins per second.

smal reminder that your 2nd character shouldnt be standing in the "purple coin zone", since that avoids reloading the area
