Am I right thinking you are actually talking about %load% ? I don't recall a %drop% command.
I'd make a pile of coins as an object and then just load that.
For instance object #906 in stock zones:
Code:
#906
coins gold treasure~
a great pile of treasure~
A great, gleaming pile of treasure lies at your feet.~
