Is there any need to store gold in chests in my home(s)? Can I be pickpocketed by NPCs in the game or otherwise unexpectedly lose gold or items from my inventory? Or can I safely carry all my gold around?

Best Answer
It is safe to carry around all your gold, even
stolenpickpocked gold, gold stolen off tables and coin purses: Gold is considered to be untraceable, and thus is not confiscated when you goto jail, according to The UESP wiki, and supported by the fact that gold doesn't gain a stolen caption in your inventory most of the time.However, if you acquire gold with the stolen tag through currently unknown means, this gold will be confiscated when you go to jail, and should be stored in your house.
