I decided to put them together in one place, and constucted a 12X16 room
out of white 1x bricks.  The money, with a couple treasure chests thrown
in, covers the floor pretty well, though I would like to have a LOT more
coins for it.  A few bricks above the floor is the doorway, which looks
down on the money bin, and Qui-Gon is poised in the doorway, preparing
for a jump into the money, a la Scrooge McDuck.

I'm waiting until I figure a way to "fake" some more coins to put in a
diving board and a depth gauge, so that a couple figs can swim in the
cash, again a la Scrooge.

Anybody else evr do anything like this?

It sounds like you've got the basics.  Also try:
  - yellow 1x2 tiles for gold bars
  - All chrome pieces as valuable artifacts (crowns, broadswords and
    hydrolator crystals especially)
  - Invert a few yellow antennae, and put opaque 1x1 round plates on the
    top to make sceptres
  - Don't forget the safes from the Wild West sets.  Plain mailboxes can
    also work here.
  - Chains are appropriate.  They always seem to show up in treasure rooms.

You could also make the room slightly smaller.

Or build a mound in the middle of the room out of bricks, and cover that
with the actual treasure.

Some trans-green and trans-red 1x1 flat rounds for jewels?

Try also some clear chalices to represent crystal, trans-clear 1x1 plate
rounds for diamonds, some 2x2-ish concave reflectors from the Aquazone sets to
use as silver bowls (chrome was mentioned above). And if you have any king
crowns...

when replying, don't play spamcake discs in your CD-ROM drive.

Don't forget silver bricks, gold grille tiles, chrome-green crystals ('cause
they look really cool!), gems, gold coin sprues (gold nuggets), and
trans-antifreeze crystals (Topaz?).

P.S.  For scepters, I always use a White 1x1x4 antenna capped with a trans 1x1
cylinder plate.  My fav colors are Green (Emerald), Blue (Sapphire), and Clear
(Diamond).

You know, reading this I had an idea. Someone mentioned using the 2x2 chrome dishes from aquazone (originally used as actually reflectors for the 9v lights) as treasure. But what if you stuck one of those on top of a light saber handle? It might (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
