Yeah, I'm pretty sure it stands alone. Ditch it from the Makefile, and
the assign_kings_castle (I think thats what it was) from spec_asssign.c

Yes, cheat. Its going to get cumbersome making coins into obj's on the
fly, then combining all the piles whenever they "meet" in someone's inv
or on the ground or in a container and all that. If you MUST do it this
way, just check out money_desc() in handler.c, but I would suggest just
doing it quick and simple like this...
in act.informative.c, ACMD(do_inventory)
after "You are carrying," and before list_obj_to_char, just add:
if (GET_GOLD(ch) > 0) {
sprintf(buf, "%d gold coins\r\n", GET_GOLD(ch));
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
