Dumb question wilderness chest destruction - coins?
TLDR - Question - where are the mysterious coins coming from upon destroying these chests? I loot chest of -all- contents, 100% nothing else in any slot, but upon destroying, I hear tinkle of coins and get some gold.
Is this some hidden feature of Valheim? I routinely destroy chests/shacks found out in wild, partly for easy resources, mostly b/c read nothing respawns in them. Any chest/shack I see must be a new one and don't waste time rechecking old ones since I destroy them after.
I usually destroy via workbench hammer click to remove, since easier to remove shack + chest that way. Soon as I delete the chest, coin tinkle sound and I get some gold, not a but wondering why these coins don't show in chest inventory?

this should only work if you dig under it and jump into it 50 times.

As a side note, "natural" chests also have NO repair sound, when built ones do.

Adding some more bizarre behavior is that chests out in the wild -inside stone towers- do not have a coin tinkling sound when you destroy them.
Only chests found in abandoned shacks, houses, etc.
I've tried now dozen+ other chests found in stone wall areas or stone tower remnants, and 100% they delete via work hammer like any other chest. So for some reason, it is only the chests found in wooden shacks that has this extra sound effect.

Yes - for sure there are zero remaining items in any chest slots. When I then destroy it via workbench hammer delete, hear the coin tinkle and what appears quick animation of coins falling in air.
Will re-confirm it wasn't just the audio sound and actually got coins because while I thought I did, will re-check on next chest found.
at first i thought - hey cool i looted the chest and now i can "hear da monee" but its just a sound
- a looted chest will onyl return wood when destroyed via workbench and hammer
i prefer using the stagbreaker XD its more fun

Yeah, it's just a sound effect. Unless the chest actually has coins in it when you destroy it you won't receive coins.

Yeah it's just a pointless sound effect added to chests that are naturally found... could easily be removed and nobody would care.

Sad, confirmed this myself. I was tricked by the sound before and tested it again with zero coins in my inventory and you all are right, just a sound effect. Wonder why they added that when there is already a sound effect for destroyed wood?

Found this out yesterday when looting the chests under the floorboards of the big house in a Draugr village. Don't remember that every happening, guess it's something I'll need to do now to get some extra coins.

But your saying you actually get coins out of destroying a chest when infact there are no coins showing inside it? Weird. I will have to try this

If you fully loot the chest and still get coins when destroying it.. sounds a lot like a bug to me.
I'll try this myself as I'm about to load up my game.

It's a quite dumb new audio effect that was added in last update. It would make sense if you had to break open a chest full of valuable, but as you probably already opened and looted it, I don't see the point, hence the word "dumb".
