I have a Tiny Coin Purse on one of my caster characters. I stopped using it. It isn't worth the loss of 6-8 bag slots, IMO. It only saves a few stone on coin, if you have a LOT of coin. The problem is by the time you see any decent weight reduction on coin with the Tiny Coin Purse, you are already well overweight from the coin. The reduction at that point is not enough to increase your run speed.
Here is some math: If you have 100 stone in coin, you are only saving 10 stone. A cloth caster will probably have around 80 strength, and carry 40 stone in items and bags at least. This is before they loot anything from the mobs they are killing. This means you are at 140/80 stone without the tiny coin purse. Saving 10 stone at that point will mean very little in terms of speed/AGI increase. As you get even more coin, the problem becomes worse for people with lower STR.
Medium coin purses are probably the best bet for most people. I doubt they ever sell, but when you get higher level, you can probably farm them. Some of the Skyshrine mobs that can drop it are not super tough. 40% weight reduction, 4 slots, and medium capacity is pretty good. In the caster scenario above, you would be at 100/80 stone, which is much more reasonable. Even at 200 stone of coin you would be saving 80 stone, which is good for a tank class. My 56 SK runs around with 115 stone, and has 213 strength. This is before coin and looted items. With 200 stone of coin, I would be at 315/213 stone without the medium coin purse. With the medium coin purse, that would take me down to 235/213 stone, which is only a very small reduction in AGI, and probably no reduction in move speed at that strength.
Obviously large coin purse is awesome, but that never sells, and requires you to be in a raid guild that kills Yelinak. If it does sell, it would be for 100k at least I am sure. Probably hundreds of thousands of pp.
