Has anyone here collaborated to make a new Skill? Something with use and substance. Not something that would become a mainstay on all character sheets; something esoterric like Autohypnosis; different but still serious and with function?

There's a few kicking around. I've done at least 4, although 2 are Knowledge variants. Spellbond is probably the most generally applicable of them.

I'm sure there are other people who have created them (SirP comes to mind), I just don't know their work well enough to point you to a skill.

What about coinage more valuable Platinum? Palladium and Rhodium came up as a commodity in the ranks of value of silver, gold, and paltinum

My group generally just starts using gems.  Trade gems, where each is cut for a specific value, so you can have trade gems that function like coins, worth 100gp, 500gp, 1000gp, etc.

So the Elemental Savant Prestige Class in Complete Arcane mensions focus in elemental damage types that go beyond the norm; quote "...bone, metal, nether, plasma, and wood.... Determining the sort of damage each of these elements does, and how that type of damage interacts with the four recognized types of energy damage  is the crux of this design process."

Bone, metal, and wood are rather self-explanatory in that they'd be more physical damage types; but has anyone ever looked into nether, plasma, or other exotic energy forms as magical energy?

Such a thing is simplistic enough that it wouldn't really require its own thread, but might fit in the 1001 ideas as a single post.  All it would require is looking at a x4 polearm such as the lurcerne hammer in Dragon 331, then rename it and give it 18-20/x2 crit instead of x4 and it's done.  Reach, 2d4 damage, slashing (because that damage type is more common for larger crit ranges overall) and 18-20/x2.  Cost will be about 10g and weight will be about 10 to 12 lb on average.  One of the names that isn't used yet for D&D polearms is the bill.  Call it a billhook and it'd work.
