Given the drawback, the only way I could see that working would be if the PCs almost exclusively fought red dragons.It could make a cool "trojan horse" kind of thing, though. Arrange for it to be given as a gift to a dragon, or trick the dragon into taking it, and then watch the dragon's horde dwindle...Here's an idea... Instead of just randomly eating gems and coins, maybe it has to be fed... and it gains power when it's been fed enough. In game terms, the PCs can "enchant" the sword by feeding it as much money as would normally be required, but without having to seek out an enchanter. Even better, this has a strong dragon vibe to it since dragons like to horde money anyways... What if the sword was actually a gold dragon bound in sword form? Explains why it's effective against reds, why it's intelligent, and why it gains power by eating stuff. Not to mention it's just freaking cool.
