The LEGO purist in me has risen up on occasion and lamented that the gold
coins even exist...what was wrong with using yellow 1x1 rounds like they
used to? Not only are they close enough to be gold coins, but they could
be used for other things as well.

Yep, that's true...
When I was little (well, littler :-) I used the yellow transparent 1x1 rounds
(dots) - my cousin and I had a currency system we used for our games. 2 red
trans. dots - rubies - were equal to one clear dot (a diamond). Trans yellow
dots were gold (OK, we didn't think about *solid* gold ;-), trans greens were
emeralds, trans blue were sapphires, and so forth...

I always (and still do) use the trans-yellow as topaz.  :)  Now that there are
cut gems, I use them as uncut, or rough, gems.  :)

This is not to say that I'll be trading away my hoard of gold...8)

Too bad :-)

Darn, I need a lot to cover the floor of my Dragon's lair...

If you wanted treasure chests full of stuff I'd add some of the yellow
goblets (I know *I* have a bunch of these), maybe chrome knives if you
have any, 1x1 rounds or faceted gems as has been suggested...there's
always the Adventurers 'Golden Bedpan' too...

A bedpan... so THAT'S what it is... ;-)

Yup, that face on it is the maker's seal.  :)
