"One of the Swedish coins has never been found in Sweden "

Wasn't it a practice of the Swedes, when they went off to war, to virtually pick up everything, including the treasury, and just move along as they conquered? The king moved the kingdom along with him.

Do I recall one Swedish (Viking) crusade that went down some river (the Dnyper?), until the king just ran out of money?
