Ahh I see missed that piece, my mistake. Thought he was replying to the original idea (his comment eludes to it that way).
Great idea for storing gold, although we need a means of transferring gold from pirate to pirate that is easier than poker, I think that might complicate the idea too much.
What Im hoping for is for us to eventually have our own "room" or "ship cabin" where we can have our treasure chest within to store any excess bounty we have on hand.
