Gold Chest

The Gold Chest is a Storage item. As an item, it is identical to the standard Chest, but it can only be generated on World creation, and can not be crafted. They typically contains a large sum of coins or valuable items.

Gold Chests are found in the Underground, Cavern, Underground Jungle, on Floating Islands, and in the Dungeon. Floating Island and Dungeon chests are always locked, and require a Golden Key to open.

If you remove all items from the chest, you can then use a Hammer to pick it up. They can then be placed and used just like standard Chests, with 20 slots of storage space (again, the same as a standard Chest). They can also be sold to an NPC for 10 (whereas the standard Chest will only sell for 1 ).

Gold Chests are gold-colored and have a sparkle effect, shining when exposed to a light source, similar to Coins. 

Trivia

 * Even when empty, Gold Chests are immune to all explosions.
 * Golden chests can't be broken with any item inside.
