My Money Trough disappeared from my inventory

[[+wDy+] Rorschach_420]

Is there any way to get it back?

I've lost probably five of these now. Does anyone know why they vanish?

I haven't kept track of when they vanished as I'd gathered so many of them, but now i seem to have run out. My only guess is that it happens when switching from an expert world to a normal one? I've been doing a rather lot of that lately.

I've never lost mine but i only play Expert with the character so...

Do you use the quick stack to nearby chests? It sounds like they would auto-stack into a chest that you might have put one in already. Either that or maybe you put it inside the piggybank inventory itself? Just a couple of ideas as I've never had mine disappear

[EDIT] Also, I've changed between expert and normal and I still had my trough

I had that happen a few times, but in my case it was because I was using it straight from my inventory and accidently dropping it. Now I just keep it in my item bar.

It's true, quick-stack will place Troughs in a chest containing another. I found four in one of mine, though I'm still unsure if I sold the remainder or if they've vanished. I'm hoping for the fomer!

[Quoi ?]

In multiplayer I used to sometimes lose weapons and items by accidentally pressing the "Throw" key (default set to 'T'). After I figured it out I simply rebound the Throw key to something on the other side of my keyboard.

Yes, accidentally quick stacking your Money Trough to a nearby chest occurs when:
1) your Money Trough is in your inventory (but not favorited nor in your toolbar);
2) you are standing near a chest containing another Money Trough;
3) your inventory is open / displayed (but you are not accessing any other chests/containers);
4) and you click on the "Quick stack to nearby chests" icon.

This is true for any inventory item not in your toolbar or ammo inventory spots.

Basically <ALT>-<Left Mouse Click> all inventory items to "favorite" them so they won't get quick stacked. Favorited inventory items have that squiggly square outline (looks like a digital / blocky sine wave).

Items are no longer favorited after you manually move them out of your inventory. Need to re-favorite after you pick them up again.

I rewatched my stream because I lost my Money Trough with 50 gold in it, and I saw that I accidentally picked out silver but switched it with the Money Trough and stored the Trough in itself. Does that mean it's gone forever????

The Money through is identical to the Piggy Bank.
Buy a Piggy Bank and open it up to find your stored Through
