'''Disappearing money''' is an informal term for [[non-terminal]] [[Action]] cards that give {{Costplus}} but are [[stop card]]s. They resemble most [[Treasure]] cards in that they give {{Costplus}} and reduce handsize when played, and any number of them can be freely played on a turn; but unlike Treasure cards they can be played from your hand ''before'' other Action cards are played, which makes them relevant as [[payload]] in certain kinds of [[engine]]s that do not work well with Treasures.
With sufficient [[terminal space]], [[terminal]] Actions that give {{Costplus}} (like {{Card|Guildmaster}}) can work the same way.
== Engines which benefit from disappearing money ==
* [[Draw-to-x]] cards like {{Card|Library}}, {{card|Cursed Village}}, {{card|Minion}}
* {{Card|Tactician}} which typically prevents you from using Treasures on the turn it is played.
* {{Card|Menagerie}}: unlike Treasure, you can have any number of copies of the same disappearing-money Action and play them all before Menagerie to create a hand with no duplicates.
* Engines that draw Actions much more easily than Treasures: {{Card|Scrying Pool}} and {{Card|City Quarter}}
* {{card|Diplomat}}: reducing your handsize first before playing Diplomat allows you to use Diplomat as a [[village (card category)|village]].
== List of cards that can provide disappearing money ==
=== No conditions ===
These are always, or can always be chosen to be played as, disappearing money.
* {{Set|Dominion}}: {{Card|Festival}}
* {{Set|Intrigue}}: {{Card|Minion}}, {{Card|Pawn}}
* {{Set|Seaside}}: {{Card|Lighthouse}}, {{Card|Fishing Village}}
* {{Set|Dark Ages}}: {{Card|Mystic}}, {{Card|Squire}}
* {{Set|Cornucopia & Guilds}}: {{Card|Candlestick Maker}}, {{Card|Courser}}, ''{{Card|Trusty Steed}}''
* {{Set|Adventures}}: {{Card|Treasure Hunter}}
* {{Set|Empires}}: {{Card|Villa}}
* {{Set|Renaissance}}: {{Card|Patron}}
* {{Set|Menagerie}}: {{Card|Coven}}, {{Way|Way of the Mule}}
* {{Set|Allies}}: {{Card|Merchant Camp}}
* {{Set|Plunder}}: {{card|Mining Road}}, {{card|Shaman}}, {{card|Taskmaster}}
* {{Set|Rising Sun}}: {{card|Kitsune}}
{{Card|Oasis}} and {{Card|Junk Dealer}} each draw a card but also remove a card from your hand, so they have the same effect on your hand size as if they were a stop card.
=== Conditional and related effects ===
* {{Set|Dominion}}: {{Card|Poacher}} – Only reduces your handsize if at least one [[Supply]] pile is empty.
* {{Set|Intrigue}}: {{Card|Courtier}} – Needs a card with at 2 or more types in hand to produce both +1 Action and {{Costplus|3}}.
* {{Set|Intrigue}}: {{Card|Ironworks}} – If gaining an [[Action]]-[[Treasure]].
* {{Set|Prosperity}}: {{card|Clerk}} – Is only [[non-terminal]] if it is in your hand at the start of your turn.
* {{Set|Seaside}}: {{card|Sailor}} – disappears from your hand on one turn to provide money on the next turn.
* {{Set|Dark Ages}}: {{Card|Forager}} – Only provides {{Costplus}} if there are any [[Treasure]]s in the trash.
* {{Set|Cornucopia & Guilds}}: {{Card|Plaza}} – requires you to discard a [[Treasure]] or it doesn't reduce your handsize.
* {{Set|Nocturne}}: {{Card|Conclave}} – Is [[terminal]] unless you can play an [[Action]] card that you don't already have a copy of in play.
* {{Set|Nocturne}}: {{Boon|The Field's Gift}} – unreliable because it will only be revealed by a [[Fate]] card 1/12 of the time.
* {{Set|Menagerie}}: {{Card|Bounty Hunter}} – Only provides {{Costplus|3}} if [[Exile|Exiling]] a card not already in Exile.
* {{Set|Menagerie}}: {{Card|Paddock}} – Only produces +Actions if there are empty supply piles.
* {{Set|Menagerie}}: {{Card|Scrap}} – Can provide both +1 Action and {{Costplus|1}} if trashing a card costing at least {{Cost|2}}.
* {{Set|Allies}}: {{Card|Courier}} and {{Card|Elder}} – need to play a non-terminal [[stop card]]. In the latter case, a [[cantrip]] also works.
* {{Set|Allies}}: {{Card|Sycophant}} – Only provides {{Costplus|3}} if there are any cards in hand to discard.
