Coins and Choices

I personally don't think Merlin would have hidden them away- but I also wouldn't put it past him.
If he had and used the artifacts, he knows just how powerful they can be. I imagine that Nic may have the smarts to use them, else he wouldn't search for them. Therefore, locking them up may be smart, as Merlin knew he wouldn't be around forever.

No, I don't think Merlin would have hidden the Artifacts either, if they were needed to be wielded and he had obtained them, he would have used them. I also think that once they were used to whatever effect he intended to use them, he would have seen that they were returned to the Vault, until they were needed and someone came forth who demonstrated by getting them was worthy of using them.

It promoted not destroyed faith, look at the power the fake Shroud accrued, locking the superweapons away was the safe thing, they were clearly on Nicky’s watch list for example, but it would allow faith to wither. Putting the fakes out there not only protected the superweapons, but allowed Faith to grow as people saw glimpses of them out in the World.
Besides, Turin was quite nice at that time of the year, and Merlin needed a holiday.

The Shroud was one item, too many of them the people soon figure out they are fakes, end faith..
The superweapons don't need protection, they are in the vault when not in use.
Conspiracy Theorist:
One fake of each item, having them in circulation stops the wrong sort of people wondering where they are and how they can get at them.
Basically the plot of Skin Game.
Turn it around, Marcone essential to getting access to the superweapons was a Denarian all along, exactly the wrong person (having previously had the fake Shroud stolen order) to know anything about their possible location. By the time of Skin Game there is no longer a need to rely on the fakes as the real things are coming back into the mortal world.
