No noble holds all their wealth in liquid currency. Most of their wealth comes from their land holdings, etc.

Petty nobles back then were vassals and often heavily in debt to their liege. Even with their land holdings some basically had a negative net worth. So most of their income of the land went straight to their liege. The coins they had on hand were their only wealth they could spend.
