In case the items can occupy more than one slot, this functions as a half-way solution to items with actual volume (since single coin still takes same amount of space as whatever the maximum a coin stack can have).
Items that stack are usually money, potions/hypos, and ammo. Often the stacks have limits and a new stack is created when the limit is reached.
