Was it possible to ever have more than 100 gold or platinum coins in a single stack? If so how, and can you still see these stacks today?

Question

I was told by a friend that back in the day some creatures used to drop more than 100 gold coins for example in a pile. I don't know if this is true or not, so can someone help me? Also, if it's true how would you get them? And is it possible to still see stacks of more than 100 gold coins or platinum coins today?

As right now I know there's a limit in a stack. I started to play in 2004 so I cannot really tell if this is true or not.

Answer 1

I've seen such stacks being sold on Antica's trade forum a few years ago. I don't think these threads can be found anymore.

I however recall one, not-so-old thread where someone asked if his overstacked pile of gps can be moved from dp to bp. He was adviced not to do it, as it would destroy the effect.

I'll try to find some of those threads and post them here.

Those amounts of Gold Coins above 100 in one pile (Overstacked Gold) were lootable in the first weeks of Dragon Lords' existence.

That is crazy to think that someone is selling 119 gold for 10,000,000 gold.   Watching things you would never think be worth anything more than what they are is crazy.

That's interesting. I wonder how a trade was able to made if they aren't allowed to move it from their depot? :O thanks for including the video!

Just like a "bugged" (erroneous) 1970' US quarter ($0.25) is worth >$25,000: https://www.error-ref.com/transitional-reverse-1964-d-quarter/ :)
