How does Imperial Luck work?
Imperials have a racial trait called Imperial Luck: "Anywhere gold coins might be found, Imperials always seem to find a few more."
Most specifically, what is the maximum amount of gold that one can get before unlocking the door with the Helgen Keep Key or killing the first two enemies? The second chest-from-the-door-that-one-enters-to-choose-Hadvar can spawn with gold in it, which seems to be the only thing that Imperial Luck affects that far. (There always seems to be four Septims on the table and no gold in any of the other chests.)
The UESP entry states, "100% chance of 2-10 extra gold in all chests that normally contain gold", but I've found from zero (0) to nine (9) Septims in the chest, shaking the credibility of UESP, or at least that one statement.

From what I remember, you only have around a 50% chance of getting more money when you search chests, barrels, and things like that.
Basically, any container you would find that has valuables, you may just be unlucky, and that's why you are only getting small amounts of gold. Or you might have an error or glitch.

This is the ability Imperials have. Since all the Levels in the table are similar, the LeveledItem upon activation will select one of those.
