Scripted replacement for when the wrong money item types are used in mods

You might, MIGHT have noticed that the vanilla "money" items, aka the $NCR bills and the Legion coins, have two variants in the game's files. One is the usual type of "Caravan Money" CMNY form type, which are weightless and have a fixed exchange rate at all vendors regardless of your Barter skill. The other is of MISC form type, which as far as I know are used by mods that failed to get the memo.
Rather than going through inventories and making humongous patches to correct instances of one type to the other, this mod will put a handler in place so that the vanilla MISC items get replaced by the CMNY version when you pick them up.
You could argue that there ought to be a realism angle... paper bills don't weight much, but silver and gold coins surely ought to. Too bad, you can't give weight to CMNY entries. I'm just offering this to make things fall into one line.
