current situation is...
gold if within realm, bonds if outside.
only thing is, it can be useful or irritating to receive them in gold or in bonds, depending on the situation.
for example, a courtier or trader without a unit... they probably want bonds. or they are just waiting to get robbed.
those with units, they'll want gold. so they don't have to nip down to the bank every so often.
question is, should there be a toggle somewhere in settings to state your preference?
this obviously only applies if within realm. when outside it should remain all in bonds.

somewhat related. should exiled nobles get it all in bonds only?
