Sei que alguém vai propor o literal "public coffers", mas se você pesquisar no Google, as duas primeiras páginas com essa expressão são traduções do português, o que leva, portanto, à dedução da tradução literal e não natural.
Quando postei este comentário, ninguém havia sugerido "public coffers" ainda, antes que alguém reclame.
