Where to Find Mini Medals
Mini Medals can be found in several places:

The Medal Maniac
The primary way to use your collected Mini Medals is by visiting the 'Medal Maniac' at the First Forest. He runs a shop where you can exchange sets of Mini Medals for increasingly powerful and rare equipment, including some of the best gear available in the game.
Strategic Collection
It's beneficial to keep track of the Mini Medals you've found and those you still need. Prioritizing exploration in areas known for containing multiple medals can be an efficient strategy. The rewards are well worth the effort, providing significant advantages in combat.
Collecting all the Mini Medals is a rewarding endeavor that will equip your party with top-tier gear, making even the toughest challenges manageable.
