That's a system I can totally see though.

Sure. That allows authorities to see how much the public values them. There probably should be some limitation like ensuring that the money is personal.

How it turns out will depend on the TL. In Ancient Athens, government property was very slim. There was not a whole bevy of assets that needed extra magistrates to control. The Laurium mines were an exception. In a more modern state, the state would at least have to have a corporate structure whoever held the proxy.
