Did I miss the memo on stealing coins?

I been stealing since the justice system started, and I just noticed, two days ago, that there are now coins on top of the small cabinets and tables that you can steal. I used to ignore coins because that were usually just a tease that I couldn't interact with. So far I only been getting between 12 and 24 gold, but I'll take what I can get. Is this something new?

    I've been "stealing" the coin stacks in dungeons a while now, if its in towns it may be new but then I don't think I ever tried picking them up in towns.

    There was no memo, but it was, I guess a silent update. One day you could not interact with them, the next you could. Been stealing them for a few months now.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    Of what I've seen it came with the Justice System, but I can't find it in the patch notes. I do remember they were telling us someday before the Justice System that coins will be stealable, but I don't remember where I saw that.

    First I've heard of it...but I don't really steal much, TBH. Neat, though!

    Too bad this feature doesn't work on the pirate ships in Cold Harbor. There's a lot of gold in them shipwrecks.

    I can't recall if this was part of the original Justice system or an update, but it was mentioned in patch notes.

    Yeah, I remember checking all the gold piles in there, too. Some of them ARE stealable, though :)

    Hehe I noticed it too about a week ago whilst in a cave or during a quest or something ... thought I was missing out all this time since launch on June 9th but it's nice to know it's only just been added recently.

    Throughout the life of this game there have been updates that would claim, "made more items in the world interactable and lootable"

    They've never been silent, you just weren't paying attention.

    One of Gina's posts on the PTS forums, I believe. But, it's been awhile.

    Yeah, big stacks are not steal-able, but a lot of small ones seem to have been added around the big ones.

    The skeleton cursed pirate ship in coldharbour had them when I went through on Xbox.. also a few lootable crates ... so that was a bit plot iffy. Was with a friend and he was like "was it ok that I took those.. I don't want to be cursed." I was like "huh?" and there they were.

    I'm going to go back to Coldharbour and see if I can get back into that ship, it's been almost a year since I done that quest.

    It isn't cursed lol. I think there were 8+ small stacks in there ~16-20 is gp. the big piles are just furniture.

    If you are a criminal connoisseur, whenever in any delve or quest area, keep an eye out for small coin stacks. Not the big mounds, it'll either be the neat single stack, 2 short stacks, or a small handful of gold. I've seen coins in Nordic barrows, Daedric shrines, and ship cabins. There were interactable gold piles in the two ships you enter for the Lost Fleet quest in Coldharbour, the one where the cat turns into a skelly and the other one where you meet up with One-Eye.

    There's also loose soul-gems that are stealable, but you got to look for them. Curious thing though...they're marked stealable in Coldharbour...which is the realm of a Daedric Prince. Items in Hollow City aren't flagged as stealable so you can loot to your hearts content but....why is it stealing to steal from a Daedric Prince? Or Bandits. There's a crate of corn in Red Ruby cave that's flagged as stealable in Cyro, yet another zone where items aren't considered stealable, just lootable.

    You can, but only a few stacks here and there, but some you can grab, that was where I first noticed the stacks could be grabbed
