Hi everyone, I’ve been stuck at this level for days and cannot figure out why. My hero is not going for the closest coin but always going for the second closest so I cannot get enough coins before time runs out.  
Please check out my code below:

```python
while True:
    closestGold = None
    minGoldDist = 9001
    coinIndex = 0
    coins = hero.findItems()
    # Find the closest coin that is gold.
    # Remember that gold coins have a value of 3.
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        if coin and coin.value == 3 and hero.distanceTo(coin) < minGoldDist:
            closestGold = coin
            minGoldDist == hero.distanceTo(closestGold)
        coinIndex += 1
    if closestGold:
        #Now go to the closest gold coin and get it!
        hero.moveXY(closestGold.pos.x, closestGold.pos.y)
        pass

```

Hi @Ephemera and welcome to the discourse! Thank you for formatting your code.

> [@Ephemera](#):

Try using one equal sign here
