    A coffer is a container of some sort that holds funds, offerings.  It can also BE the funds.
    Another definition, this from the dictionary, is a decorative, sunken panel in a vault, dome, or ceiling.
    A third, also from the dictionary, is a lock in a canal.
    Odd that one word should have three such distinctively different meanings.
