$\begingroup$ This is the best answer. If the vendor wants to stay in the village, he buries the vast majority of the coin and tries not to spend enough to draw much notice -- maybe he'll admit to having sold something for 500 coins. If the vendor doesn't want to stay in the village, he buys a horse and cart and takes his wealth to the nearest city -- one that can absorb 50,000 coins without significant economic impact. $\endgroup$
