2. I really don't think it's possible to have a finite money economy. Aside from problem number one... you also have to take into consideration the fact that not everyone who obtains money on your server is going to play forever. So if people leave, what happens to that money? It's sitting dormant in an inactive account. That money is essentially being taken from your finite resources and never being returned. Eventually that means there will be little to no money on the server.
number one isnt a problem, from what i read about this server, your money isnt going to be safe, it can be taken, also economy is based on how fast money is exchanged, not how much their is, that is called inflation. there should always be something to buy or make, if there isnt, then thats where the problem is

personaly i dont get how people will earn money if decentralization (trade) is supposed to be encouraged.

number 2 is a problem however, and thats where i run out of advice
