Hi everyone,
As a GM, I've stopped giving out Bags Of Holding for various reasons, so must now contend with the weight of coins the party can carry.
Is it 50 coins=1 lb. ?
If so, then someone briefly reaching into the treasure horde filled with silver might grab say 20 lbs.? Given little time they may only take 1000 silver in a bag, making this 20 lbs?
Do I assume roughly that silver and gold weight the same, and is that math right?
Thanks Pathfinders!
Gamemastery even sells accessories that have 5, 10, and 100 denomination coins, or even 100, 500, and 1000 trade bars. Why find 5,000 1cp when you could find one 5pp?

In many cases monster hordes may not have access to larger denominations. And over the years accumulate many additions of small coin. In my recent game story this was the case.
The horde was 36000 silver pieces, or the equivalent of 3,600 gold. Unfortunately, from a story POV, the silver was absolutely necessary.
Thus this horde in total would have weighed 36000sp / 50 = 720 lbs. Right?

Yeah it's a lot of weight but that's what the bags are for, hauling out ancient treasures and piles of loot you couldn't normally carry. I would advise the PC's of this and allow for other solutions; building sleds, potions of anthaul, etc.
