The current money systems works quite well and diamonds are valuable
enough. The problem is that players carry all their treasures with them
all the time. We need those saved maps (inns, houses and banks).
[ hmm, much talk but little code :( ]

What is situation with the platina coins? Code seems support them
at least somehow, but never tried if them really works.

It makes sense, but you should have some place, where you can leave
your money and extra items. See above.

Agreed. If the weight code is going to be changed, it would make sense
fix archetypes as well. Doesn't make sense that normal foods weights 6.5 kg
and so on.

Since you volunteered coding those, I don't see any reason why not 
making those changes :)
