Gold Chest

Gold Chest is an item created in the 1.0.5 patch. They are similar to the standard Chest, but typically have a larger sum of coins inside them - 75 silver coins in a Gold Chest is not uncommon.

If you remove every item from a Gold Chest, you can then use a Hammer to pick it up. Gold Chests can be placed just like a standard Chest, and they have 20 slots of storage space (again, the same as a standard Chest).

As far as appearance goes, they are golden colored and have the same sparkle effect that pockets of ore do.

They do not appear to be craftable.

Trivia
Even when empty, the Golden Chest is immune to all explosions.
