OK, imagine the following scenario. You're walking along on your merry way, minding your own business, when suddenly, you come across a huge bag of money in the middle of your path. It's a burlap sack full of gold, silver, bronze, and copper coins. They're really big, too, and old, like the kind that the pirates used to bury in treasure chests, so they're probably worth even more today than they were when they were first minted. There's no one around to whom the bag could belong, and no ID in it to identify its owner. Given these circumstances, you determine that it's fine to keep it for yourself.
Having done this, do you think, "Gee, how fortunate I am to have found such a stash all conveniently placed for me inside a bag, which I can easily carry over my shoulder without having to bother with all the individual pieces. Hmm, I think the best way to handle this discovery is to shake the bag shake the bag shake the bag until all the coins fall out and the poor bag collapses into dust, and then pick up every coin, every coin that was already in a bag and ready for the carrying, one by one by one?"
Because that's what Wario thinks.
