It occurs to me that this is one of the reasons for the Robber's
existence in Settlers of Catan...when he moves, /all/ players with
more than seven cards lose half. That's one hell of a discentive to
hoarding.

Probably such a scheme should be a little gentler, and logarithmic
rather than a n abrupt threshold, but a little bit of "pushing" from
thieves, etc., coupled with the "pull" of various luxury items
mentioned elsewhere ought to keep money moving...
