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?
Pretty sure this is there for a balance reason.

Outside the realm, yes.
Inside the realm, I think this is a great idea. Probably implement as a checkbox in "your estate"...but what about those without estates, my ruler for example?
Without an estate, I would suggest always bonds. Make getting your taxes in gold a benefit of having an estate.
Why punish rulers/dukes/lords without an estate? If you're just a noble without an estate, where's your tax income anyways?
there's no need to tie anything to estates.
you pick a setting somewhere... if you get income, you get income in form of your choice, if you don't get income, then it doesn't matter, does it.
I like this idea, mainly because of my priest, who gets arrested and robbed by judges a lot.
