Line 57:
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s [[Conan the Barbarian]] story "Queen of the Black Coast", Belit does this.
{{quote|''With a cry Belît dropped to her knees among the bloodstained rubble on the brink and thrust her white arms shoulder-deep into that pool of splendor.''}}
* The Western Paladin in the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' card [https://web.archive.org/web/20120608055211/http://www.cardkingdom.com/catalog/item/49139 Greed] does this.
* Like Smaug (see below), this is considered standard behavior for dragons in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. One book devoted to them, the ''Draconomicon'', points out how improbable this is considering the volume of the coins and the size of most dragons (even taking into consideration that they are typically 3x as rich as monsters of the same power level). The book even mentions that some dragons will convert their treasure into smaller denominations just to make wallowing in their wealth more practical.
