I saw the "PUT COINS IN CONTAINERS (BETA)" section and tested it out with one of my characters. I am sure this is still being worked on as it was considered an "Experimental feature", but I wanted to give my experience in case it helps with QA testing to some degree.
It gave my bag of holding a currency count just like my equipment. Sadly it would not let me add currency. When adding positive numbers and selecting add, it would just say:
Unable to make transaction: Add Coin Cannot set currency to a negative value, the previous amount has been set instead.

I've not had that issue, but I have noticed that currently coin weight is only calculated when added to "My Equipment".
If I put 50 gold into my Equipment then my weight carried increases by 1 lb. If I instead put it into a different container like a backpack or pouch then the weight of those coins does not appear to be added to the character's total weight carried.
Yes, I've noticed the same thing. I want them to fix this because in my campaign I have the characters only able to carry so many coins based on what their coin pouch can hold.
They still post changelogs whenever new stuff is added. Link is at the bottom of any page.
Though I agree that the dev updates need to come back.

Leaving OGL 1.0(a) untouched and making SRD 5.1 CC-BY-4.0 is a great first step. The next is a promise to do the same for future editions. Here's a discussion thread on that.

I still see this issue as of 10/23/22
I would also like to see a fix for this. Some way of adding currency to a bag of holding please!
In 2023 I have the same issue with coin weight not appearing in containers, when we have the toggleable option for it.
Yet another example of site development stopped after DDB was bought by WotC.
Bring back dev updates so we don't have to guess what's going on.

DDB is great, but it could be better. Here are some things I think could improve DDB
