Is there any reason you would not simply choose Counting House or Fortune, every single time? The chosen card doesn't have to be in the Supply . . .

The chosen card doesn't have to be in the Supply, but you can't gain it if it isn't in the Supply. So you could choose Platinum and gain 9 Coppers but no Platinum if you just wanted a ton of Coppers for some reason.

Put any number of cards into play from your hand in any order.  If you buy an Event this turn, trash this card.

(There are enough other interactions that I didn't want this to feel too much like a Ruins.)

Can you name Black Lotus and gain 27000 Coppers?

Put any number of cards into play from your hand in any order.

I don't think "put... into play" is the same as "play," so this is fascinatingly halfway between useless and useful. It'll get you "while this in play" below-the line-effects, but most cards won't do anything at all, and durations will generally get discarded without even doing anything on your next turn. Peddler, Bank, and Horn of Plenty will be pleased by how many things you have in play; Conspirator will not. On the other hand, you'll be able to get plain Victory cards and Curses into play in order to Bonfire or Pilgrimage them, or else to play Watchtower or Library for maximum efficiency...

It either needed to be a Ruins or it needed to be a $4 cantrip.  And even then, it still sucks on any board that doesn't specifically have a use for it.  I think it was Pilgrimage+Colony that made me decide it couldn't be less than $4...

Either way, you would simply run out the Copper pile, unless you play under Donald's unofficial "effectively infinite" rule of thumb about basic treasure piles.  Even a Shivan Dragon could handle that task.

[popsofctown]

Shivan Dragon has been reprinted many times, the true value of the later printings is a quarter at best, leaving a few coppers in the supply.  Specifying "alpha set " Shivan dragon would easily wipe a copper pile even if it's base+intrigue coppers.

[Asper]

This thread feels like 5% actual really bad card ideas and 95% card name combination jokes. Just taking Ruined/Grand/Border/Young/Royal/Wandering or other words from one card and the rest from another card to mix up their effects seems to be funny to surprisingly many people for reasons which completely elude me.

If you focus on individual jokes, that might seem to be the case, but in the grand scheme of things, it is a pretty funny thing to do.
