Nice with Fool's Gold, but rather indistinguishable from Copper otherwise.  Maybe decent with a Highway or Bridge open.

The thing is that some cards refer directly to Copper, though, and because there's a when-trash benefit, I want it to be able to be trashed by Moneylender.

And then when someone plays Mountebank, can I choose to gain one of these (and then fail to do so because they aren't in the supply)? Although I see what you're going for, I simply don't think you can create a new card with the same name as an existing one... just too many potential issues.

Maybe no trashing. So using it for copper when you need it. Maybe remove not an action clause also?

It's the same issue as when one of your Shelters gets Swindled and Poor House is in the supply; your opponent has to give you a Poor House because he has to choose a card in the supply with Cost 1 to give you. Likewise with Mountebank, you have to gain a copper from the supply, so you look at the supply for any cards with the name or type "Copper", and your only option is the basic Treasure costing $0. If a card existed in the supply with the Name or Type "Copper" that wasn't the one we know and love, you could choose to gain that instead. However these Trinkets are not in the supply.

The solution I'm going to go personally go with for these interactions (in lieu of any other ideas) is to give all trinkets the type "Copper". So, for example, Trinket Box will be Treasure-Victory-Copper, and give you "1VP for every 2 Cards with the Copper type".

You could almost make a "Degenerate Trinkets" kingdom with Menagerie, Horn of Plenty, Fairgrounds and Forager.

Oh man, those cards are probably another reason it would be better to replace only 2-3 coppers. The possibility of starting with 10 unique cards and no duplicates is just too good for them, wow.

[Asper]

It's difficult to make this interesting and still have it work. I liked the VP-approach, it'll reward you for keeping all your starting coppers...

When you are meant to put this back in the supply, put it in the trash pile instead. On any other occasion during the game, treat this as if it was copper.
