Stack of Coins and Income Level
 

I'm sort of confused as to the height of the stack of coins shown on the map and the corresponding level of income.

In one MP game I am playing, my dominion reaches to some areas still owned by Indies, and I can clearly see the stacks of coins and also get a reading for resources and for income. Lots of coins, lots of income, fewer coins, less income, everything fine.

In one province, however, with the least amount of coins possible (two) I get an income reading of 17 (which seems quite a lot), while another province nearby has more coins (about 7, the next step up I think) but has an income reading of 4.

I thought that more coins means more income? Is there something odd going on here?

thanks in advance

Is there any unrest in the province with the low income? What is the tax rate in the provinces?

I think the stack is the potential income, but tax rate, unrest level, and other factors come into play in the actual income.

These are both Indy provs whose stats I can see because my dominion has spread there.
