If you have extra caps in a hunt should you pick up empty flasks or the gold?

Question

I always love to make sure I don't have any spare caps. I always run across the question in my head, should I pick up flasks or the gold to get the most bang out of my buck or coin I mean. I'm really bad with math involving caps and gold ratio so can you please tell me what I would benefit picking up - Gold or Flasks? I'm talking all types of flasks too so if you could include the different types that would be great just in case their laying around a hunt.

Answer 1

1  Gold Coin = 0.10 oz weight

10  Gold Coin per each 1 oz weight.

1 Stack max = 100  Gold Coin

---

1  Empty Potion Flask (Small)  = 1.50 oz weight = 5  Gold Coin

5  Gold Coin / 1.50 oz weight = 3.33  Gold Coin per each 1 oz weight.

1 Stack max = 100  Empty Potion Flask (Small) = 500  Gold Coin

---

 Empty Potion Flask (Medium) (Weight 1.60 oz) and   Empty Potion Flask (Large) (Weight 1.80 oz) are worst because have the same sell price of 5  Gold Coin and more weight.

So pick just  Gold Coin in numbers is better BUT you need take in count you gonna need more space in your Backpack to carry each stack.
