What's the preferred way of accessing collections in a command file?

Currently I have something like this

try {
        if (interaction.commandName === 'user') {
            await command.execute(interaction, currency)  // Currency is a Collection of user ids and balances
        } else {
            await command.execute(interaction)
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
        if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {
            await interaction.followUp({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true })
        } else {
            await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true })
        }
    }

try {
        if (interaction.commandName === 'user') {
            await command.execute(interaction, currency)  // Currency is a Collection of user ids and balances
        } else {
            await command.execute(interaction)
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error)
        if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {
            await interaction.followUp({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true })
        } else {
            await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true })
        }
    }

Where I just send the collections along when I execute the command from the main file, depending on the command but this feels a bit hacky, as does having a separate file exporting collections. What should I be doing? Thanks! npm list discord.js: 14.14.1 node -v: v21.1.0
