You have to build housing for the NPCs. T0R0ID provided a good link for what housing is. For the Merchant NPC to move in you must have a certain amount of money ON YOUR PLAYER. I think its 50 silver but I know for a fact he moves in when you have 1 gold coin. Different NPCs have different requirements you must meet for them to spawn.

well i have 3 separate houses and no one is comming :/

It is infact 50 silver required for him to spawn.

each house needs to be 6 blocks high on the inside (in other words 7 blocks high) and 10 blocks wide on the inside (in other words 12 blocks wide) and you need 50 silver coins

Each house MUST have a door, table, chair and PLAYER placed back walls as well.

With exception to The Guide, NPCs each have their own extra prerequisites as well. With some of them you need to be carrying the right thing - and right amount of that thing - while others need to be rescued. Or woken up. Or freed from a curse...look up "NPC" on the official Terraria site or Gamepedia's Terraria wiki. ShadowlessWanderer and Marius already told you about the merchent.

use the menu in game to know if your house the game know is a house, press esc and click in the house simbol, you will se a "?" click in this, and click in your house, the game will tell you what is missing in your house. if you receive the message "This house is suitable" you need to meet requirments/progress to get the npc, merchant is for you have atleast 50 silver coins. if you get "Missing chair, missing table, missing light source, or house is corrupted" you need to solve this problems, the first three are simple, but house corrupted you will need fo move away from corruption/crimsom. because you probally no have the equipments, and the npc to sell weapons to combat corruption

Well the Dyer arrived but i have only copper coins. I have no idea how to obtain gold coins :/ Any ideas?

[Zemecon]

You don't need to obtain silver coins or gold coins. Just get 100 copper coins and they'll turn into a silver coin. Then, 100 silver coins will turn into one gold coin, and 100 gold coins will turn into one platinum coin.

[UberRoxor]

Shows how much I know. I didn't even know there were platinum coins.

You must have killed a boss then. Like someone said, each NPC has a different requirement to be able to spawn (show up). The Dyer's requirements are if you have something that can be made into dye in your inventory. Like a yellow marigold or blueberries.

Oh, once NPCs spawn and if they die, they'll always respawn after a certain amount of time. You don't have to meet their requirements again (For example, get 50 silver for the merchant) You only have to have a suitable house for them to move into. (Check T0R0ID's link for housing requirements)

well just continue playing but put your coins in a chest, eventualy you will get gold coins, because 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 100 gold coins = 1platinum coin etc
