Please keep in mind that this is the wild west. I know that they are typically called stage coaches, but is there a special term for ones that transport money? |

| Note from asker to answererThank you!" Although both were good answers, I could not be sure what was in the bags of money, so a general term was better!

| bullion shipment
Explanation:
You might say they are going to rob a stage coach with a bullion shipment.
Wells Fargo and gold are invariably linked together. Wells, Fargo & Co. moved so much of the West's treasure that it compiled the universally accepted statistics on gold and silver production. Treasure shipments were carried in dark green wooden boxes placed in the front boots of stagecoaches. J.Y. Ayer, a San Francisco carpenter, fashioned these sturdy containers from ponderosa pine, strengthening them with an oak rim and iron strapping.
Iron safes built under the back seats of stagecoaches, and iron chests on steamboats and railroads provided extra protection for Wells Fargo's larger bullion shipments. Wells Fargo's Instructions to Agents gave complete details for the secure handling of gold and silver.
