English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Georges, and Louises, doubloons and double guineas and moidores and sequins, the pictures of all the kings of Europe for the last hundred years, strange Oriental pieces stamped with what looked like wisps of string or bits of spider’s web, round pieces and square pieces, and pieces bored through the middle, as if to wear them round your neck—nearly every variety of money in the world must, I think, have found a place in that collection; and for number, I am sure they were like autumn leaves, so that my back ached with stooping and my fingers with sorting them out."''

->What a breathtaking sight! What an incredible display! What a dazzling cornucopia! You have entered a chamber so stacked with treasure that it almost unhinges your mind. Chests of gold and silver... caskets of gems... racks of ivory... piles of jade... everywhere you look is booty worth a king's ransom. This is the big one, Pip. There's enough here to keep Merlin happy and give you a small bonus (say a few hundred thousand billion) for living expenses. There's even a solid gold wheelbarrow in one corner to help you carry off the loot. And best of all, you've won through again. Your skill, courage and intelligence have beaten off every adversary and taken you directly to your destination. All that remains now is to collect up as much as you can shovel into that wheelbarrow and troll back to Merlin's roc egg house.
->''To determine the value of the loot you can pack into the golden wheelbarrow, roll two dice ten times and add the results. Now multiply your answer by a million, add 500,000 as the value of the wheelbarrow itself, and your final total is the value of your haul in gold pieces. There is a half-hidden door in the west wall which opens into a narrow tunnel leading directly outside again, from whence you can trundle your wheelbarrow directly to'' '''45''' ''where Merlin is waiting to lavish his gratitude upon your deserving shoulders.''

On it and in it, and rising through it, as wrecks lift through the sand, were jeweled elephant-howdahs of embossed silver, studded with plates of hammered gold, and adorned with carbuncles and turquoises. There were palanquins and litters for carrying queens, framed and braced with silver and enamel, with jade-handled poles and amber curtain rings; there were golden candlesticks hung with pierced emeralds that quivered on the branches; there were studded images, five feet high, of forgotten gods, silver with jeweled eyes; there were coats of mail, gold inlaid on steel, and fringed with rotted and blackened seed-pearls; there were helmets, crested and beaded with pigeon's-blood rubies; there were shields of lacquer, of tortoise-shell and rhinoceros-hide, strapped and bossed with red gold and set with emeralds at the edge; there were
