Actually, the money bin that looked like a safe was shown in another
story, the one where they had filled the bin with water, to flood out
the Beagle Boys who had been intending to dig their way from below,
where Scrooge had not bothered to build a thick floor, to save on
concrete. The money bin was destroyed in that story, when the water
froze. The Beagle Boys were shown trying to chip coins off the ice,
so they must have known that Scrooge's safe was not the one built by
F. L. Drake.  This is another contradiction with Don's story!

In that story, Scrooge mentioned that the walls of the bin were ten
feet thick, which probably answers my question whether a money bin
with straight sides could withstand the pressure of all those coins.
(Of course, Scrooge could have made the sides thinner at the top, saving
enough concrete to build a Beagle-proof floor. Serves him right for not
having done so!)
