To use for calculation of weight, value and
hoard size, only change the values in the “No.
of Coins” column. Changing another column
might break everything.
I created this document because I wanted to
have a decent idea of how large/impressive a
particular number of coins might look, as well
as how easy they would be to transport in
containers.
The calculations in this sheet assume fairly
small coin sizes which have weights consistent
with both the books and their real life densities,
assuming the coins are pure, and assuming a
random packing density of approximately 0.6
(found from a quick search online).
I am not a spreadsheet wizard. I know a couple of sprea
However, I’m fairly sure that you should be able to twe
right to your liking and it shouldn’t break everything:
Packing density
Volume of coin types
Dimensions of coin types
Weights of coin types (lb)
You might want to change the packing density if, for ex
fairly parallel to the ground and so aren’t wasting as mu

afraid that if you change the volume, the dimensions wo
have to figure those out manually.

If you prefer your coins to be alloys, or larger,

or neatly packed, or to just hand-wave real life
physics, that’s fine, however the calculations on
this sheet probably won’t be as accurate. I just
made this because I wanted to be able to better
describe just how big that dragon’s big messy
coin hoard actually looks, and so my morally
dubious players don’t go around carrying their
weight in gold in a small purse.
