Oh, I am not denying that coins could be fit in a money belt and they were I am sure. I was thinking it was a matter of weight ratios. The average weight of an unladen aftrican swal...Sorry, Python flashback, it happens, no cure. Okay, I was thinking in terms of weight and body. Many men do not have much in the gluteus maximus, not saying not developed, just more minimus than maximus. It is a problem I suffer due to medication my parents gave me, Noassitol. Side effect was no booty. So, in weights (pulling these from memory, so correct me please). $20 gold weighed an ounce. (probably troy). A 1$ in silver weighed an ounce. So, carrying $24 in coin could range from more than a 1/4 of a pound to 1 1/2 pounds. I have not seen a money belt that was not a cartridge belt. (As a die-hard cap and ball man who feels this cartridge thing will never catch on, I do not wear a cartridge belt, if one exists, please correct me, gotta learn somehow). Any who, with a gun, cartridges and coins, that is a some weight resting on a tiny bump that many of us do not have much of.
That was just my thinking.
