{Conjured Currency} + {volition reins} or {confiscate}

At the beginning of your upkeep exchange control of conjures currency and get it back while the auras are attached to it.

That trick will only work once though, then you'd need another enchantment,

Why?

Destore117

If you exchange control of currency with the enchantment on it. Wouldn't the enchantment make you keep it?

DimirOverlord1300

No the exchange overrides the enchantment

Mutexes

I'm pretty sure you will gain control of {conjured currency} after you make the exchange. {Confiscate} and {volition reins} gives you control of the enchanted permanent as long as it is enchanted. Even if you made the exchange the game will check to see the owner of the aura thus giving you control again. Exchanging the enchanted permanent does not nullify the effects of the aura.

This is incorrect.

Control this way operates on a time stamp i.e. the last action played would override all previous effects. Since the exchange by {Conjured Currency} is the latest exchange in control, both the other two auras will be rendered ineffective.

It's the same reason {control magic} is rendered useless on {karona, false god} by the time you get to the next upkeep.

Thank you for providing an actual proof that led to the discovery of the rules after some googling (I wasn't able to find the rules previously). I am indeed wrong about this combo.
