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.

This might be a case of poor wording. It could possibly be interpreted as "If a container contains at least 1 gold, Imperials have a 100% chance to find an additional 2-10 gold in that container."

Sep 9 '14 at 16:37
@JonK That can't be true, because sometimes I've found only one or two Septims in that chest (as an Imperial). Furthermore, the chest spawns with gold in it, more often than not, which fits the definition of "chests that normally contain gold". According to Raven Dreamer's definition, "normally" would be redundant.

Well, the page over on Wikia just says "up to 10", which would imply 0-10 additional coins, which would be more in line with what you're seeing. It could essentially be a second gold roll when the loot is determined, but limited to 10 coins at most.

I've found that UESP is not the best source for information. Almost every time I've used it, it has ended up being wrong. The Wiki tends to be the source I trust the most.

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.
