Counterfeit/Fool's Gold is a fun and potentially useful one
Huh, I wonder where you thought of that one...

The general combo of cost reducer + gainer is a great one to know.

Fool's Gold BM+X seems so spiky that you may hit 12 with it once or twice and then have to tweak your strategy.

Even better: Chapel/Scout. So you can trash your Scouts.

I wondered about possible Black Marker combos:

BM+Poor House - play BM and all the treasures with it, thus maximizing the worth of your Poor Houses
BM+Mandarin - buy Mandarin from BM deck, topdecking your treasures and then drawing them again. This enables you to use same treasure cards again in the same turn.

Black Marker definitely synergises with Adventure cards as long as they are not to be named.

Black Market + draw-up-to-x:
Play Black Market + a lot of treasures (it doesn't matter whether you actually buy something from the BM deck or not), then play your draw-up-to-x (e.g. Library).  You will have the coins from the treasure you just played, while you draw a ton more cards.  Do this multiple times per turn and you're off to the races.  Of course this requires some sort of village for support.

Usage:

EDIT: I suggest the OPer put the most useful/simple/interesting interactions into the OP, to make them easy to find later.

The problem is that you're spending $5 on Mandarin and then you have to actually draw those Treasure cards again, when you could've just not spent the $5 and drawn just as many other cards.

Unless you're overdrawing your deck.

Very true. It can also be helpful if you've already drawn especially high-value Treasures like Platinum.

Scout/Apothecary. No, seriously. Ok, so it's not useful, really, but it's neat.

Prince/Counting House, maybe?
Counting House can get you to a quick $8 if you're lucky, and being able to play Counting House enablers like Chancellor, Scavenger, Storeroom etc without an action means being able to set up all those combos that are not feasible normally. It's not really enough to be a combo, with luck and a third card involved, but iplayed it in one of my first Prince games, and it was fun.

If not Counting House, how about Coppersmith/Prince? It can also get you to $8 early, and effectively turns all your Coppers into Silvers. Not sure whether that's combo territory, but it does look like a nice interaction.

Journeyman + Fairgrounds
Chapel + Gardens
Counting House + Poor House
Highway + Bishop

Yeah, but the "neat" part is using the same treasures twice - once for buying Mandarin, and then the second time. I don't think that any other Dominion interaction allows for that.

Good to know your nombos. But in all seriousness, Prince + Cost Reducer is pretty special.

I like cost reducers, can't you tell?

With Herbalist you can not use a treasure twice during the same turn.

Apprentice/Explorer

Apprentice gives big hands and trashing to line up Province/Explorer, Explorer gives Gold to trash with Apprentice. Not as crazy as Market Square/Apprentice, but still quite useful.

Scavenger and Chancellor don't synergize with a Princed CH, since the CH gets played first, before you get to play the Scavenger.

I can maybe see Prince/Coppersmith... but the problem is that you need to hit 8 early and want to have more Copper than normal in your deck.  Most of the time you'd prefer to get rid of the Coppers and buy something better.

I like cost reducers, can't you tell?

Be careful about *Princing* a cost-reducer when you want to use a cost-caring TfB, like Apprentice.

I assume he meant Prince the Chancellor/Scavenger, especially because you don't need a cost-reducer to do so.

You're thinking about this backwards. Coppersmith itself helps you get $8 early and Prince of Coppersmiths does make you want more Copper than normal in your deck. "Most of the time you'd rather get rid of it and buy something better?" Prince of Coppersmiths instantly "gets rid" of all your Copper and replaces it with Silvers.

I've never understood why Coppersmith gets rated so low - without Copper trashing, it's consistently +$3 or +$4 in the early game, for $4.  That makes it comparable to Baron.

Well, Baron gives +1 Buy, which is significant.
