This is a game I played the other day (as That's Numberwang!). I was originally going for a Scrying Pool / KC / Monument engine to load up on VP tokens, but Coppersmith stole the show. Note that there's no +buy, so it's hard to see just how much Coppersmith was rocking. I had at least two turns with enough coins for 3 Colonies. And yes, I ignored Counting House and stand by that decision. It could have been good, but I didn't have an opportune $5 hand for it.
It was the closest I've come to buying no additional sources of coins in a game. I had all engine components in place without buying any kingdom cards or treasures that gave +coins. I could have easily done without the +$2 from Monument. It demonstrates that even the typically ignorable cards occasionally have their uses.
3rd worst $4 card? No, 41st best $4 card!
