you don't even need the "outside of your clean up phase" on this - just let that $$$ fall out of scope

Given which thread we're in, why not go the whole hog?

Credit Card Fraud
Event - $0
Gain a card costing up to $5. The player to your left takes debt equal to that card cost. Skip your next turn

Maybe it should be an Attack-Event that counts as playing an Attack card, and if someone prevents it, you go to prison?

Actually maybe an OK related card idea:

Pickpocket
Action - Attack
Each other player takes their -$1 token. +1 Coffers per player who did.

I think the only real problem is that it requires tokens from two different expansions.

That could be made into a decent attack (if possibly a bit overpowered in multiplayer) if, instead of the -$1 token, it's "Each other player discards one treasure card (or reveals their hand if they cannot).  +1 Coffers per player who did"

probably have to have the "Each player with at least (four? five?) cards in hand" qualifier on there lest it be as brutal as five-player Cutpurse

Hence the choice of the -$1 token: people who already have the token are immune to the attack. If you're playing a multi-player game and everyone uses it every turn, it cancels out (each round you get your -$1 token and +1 Coffers).

That's not how it works!
$3
Action-Duration
For the whole game, at the start of each of your turns, reveal your hand and discard all useless cards, and when you play an Action card, put it into your discard pile.

Also, you may put your discard pile face down, which then gives you a right to combine it with your deck or confuse it with your deck.

Also, in your buy phase, play treasures untill you have the amount for the first card you want to buy, buy it and after that you can play treasures for your other buys

Silly Rotating Supply

Whenever an Event is bought, shuffle it back into the Events pile and add the top Event of the pile to the kingdom.

If you're going to do that, then it has to be gain a Curse and if you did, +2 Buys.  No unconditional +Buy allowed with self-return.

Do the rest of the card instructions even continue to happen after "You lose the game"?
