Chests

Instead of having coin piles use bins, why not have them use chests or coffers? Storing money in a large bin doesnt really seem very... richish.

Comments?

Chests and coffers are used when they're possessed by dwarves. Eventually, all the coins in your stockpile will be possessed by the dwarves in your fortress. IMO bins allow easier access and though they may not seem like the 'rich' way to collect them, it does work for storing them in an orderly vault.

However, being able to put coins or gems into specific chests to improve the quality of a room, despite losing the ability to use them in encrusting /the economy -- would be very useful.
