This purse consists of two items which are inherently linked. Powerful wizards can provide their staff with sufficient funds for any form of purchase in a secure fashion. A change purse affixed with an obvious but small magic ward is used by a trusted member of a household for an errand. Upon opening the small purse with a simple and discreet passphrase (e.g., “Let me see”), one may retrieve an amount of coin sized objects sixty-four times in volume than what should be the capacity of the purse. This is not an extra-dimensional space. The purse appears to be a small Pouch, modestly-sized (4” tall, 4” across, and 1” front-to-back). It always weighs one pound. When reaching into the purse, one is actually reaching into a 4” high, 16” wide, 16” deep magical coffer at a remote safe location. Turning the purse side to side will jostle the items in the magical coffer. Turning the purse upside down will empty the contents of the magical coffer out the purse. You may look inside the purse and see items in the coffer. Items do not spring to your hand at will.

The coffer connected to the purse may be filled with whatever is deemed necessary or prudent. It may be filled with coins, gems, candy, beans, or anything one might place in a purse. Liquid could be stored but will be a mess. Sharp items could damage the purse upon removal. Some larger items (e.g., a dagger in a scabbard) could be placed in the coffer and retrieved through the purse. The coffer may be emptied at any time. The coffer may be refilled at any time. Items placed in the coffer are accessible to the purse. Items placed in the purse are really placed in the coffer. The purse will not operate if the lid of the coffer is open or opened.

The coffer itself is finely milled rosewood with a soft purple velvet lining. It has interior hinges which allow the top to open. Inside the top is a small gold plaque with the warning, “Never place the magiked purse inside this coffer.” The coffer is secured by an impressively large padlock with no visible keyways. The rosewood is impregnated with a magical force making it immune to physical or magical damage. The padlock is opened by a different passphrase known to the owner.

An Identify spell will disclose a purse’s passphrase. If also in one's possession, a separate Identify spell will disclose the coffer passphrase. A Dispel Magic spell affecting the purse will cause it to not operate for one hour and all connections are blocked. Dispel Magic has no effect on the coffer. A Knock spell will not break either item's powerful warding.

The purse requires attunement as a security measure. Attunement does not confer knowledge of either passphrase nor the location or nature of the coffer. The coffer does not require attunement. Additional wards may be in place on or around the magical coffer depending on the owner and what they store in it.

Presuming every coin is one ounce these are the dimensions of a single coin:

If the magic coffer is full then the purse will be shown as full and can receive no more. This is important to note when used by tax collectors. If every coin in the coffer was the same type and the coffer was entirely full, the following table shows the quantity and weight of the contents.

A randomly found purse will typically only have a note and address within it promising a large reward for its safe return.
