IOS-8 Strength - this protects you from one obstacle or minion. The first level goes for 300 gold, and will last 15 seconds.
Coin Value - this boosts your coin value a certain percentage. To get started with an increase of one percent - yes, one percent - you'll need to spend 300 gold.
Power-Up Duration - this increases the duration of invincibility and Magnet power-ups. It'll cost you 600 coins to start off, doubling your time from .3 seconds to .6. That does make a difference in game though, believe it or not.
