Here is what I would do. First, make a function like:
void random_gold(struct char_data *mob)
And in it generate some random amount of coins then give add it to the
GET_GOLD(mob) of the mob.
Put this function call after read_mobile calls throughout the code that you
want it to happen. This wouldn't be done in a function like vstat, but it
would in load_zone() and do_load().
