- Later on in the game, if both/all players are actively going for this as a strategy, the money density in their decks will be no higher than $7 in a regular non-platinum/colony game
I believe you have money density mistaken. Your money density is a calculation of the average value of a single card in your deck. If your money density is $7, you would expect an average value of $35 in a hand. As you add Coppers to your deck, your money density approaches $1. If you meant the average value of a hand is $7, your money density is $1.4.
- This could be an effective counter to Swindler if it is the main strategy as Swindler and all the other trashing attacks trigger it's on trash ability
Except that you have a million Coppers in your deck to be turned into Curses.

Maybe this is cleaner:

"when you gain this, if it's not your buy phase, trash it". I think this doesn't require specific ruling for weird card interaction.

PPE3: yeah, what I said.

The problem with the "return to the supply" version is black market.
The other interesting interaction with both versions is Watchtower. You can top-deck the card before returning/trashing it, and then it Loses Track of itself.

It's a pretty bad card in its current form, but it's better than Bomb.  So it has that going for it.
