I want floating money with freakin anti-gravity fields. If you carry too much money, you float in the air.
I now sincerely want to see this in the game. If the player passes the 1,000,000 gold carried mark, I want to see them hover in the air and get "
Achievement unlocked: Anti-gravity money! (Carry 1,000,000 gold in your pockets.)"

I believe that it’s absolutely possible for Larian to come up with a way to have the money have weight, and still be balanced for gameplay. It’s absolutely possible.
But the key phrase there is “come up with a way”. It will require meetings, back-and-forth discussion, tests, re-balancing, more tests, more re-balancing, over and over again until they get it right.
And all that work will ultimately be for a feature that players will regard more as an irritating annoyance in micromanagement than a positive thing that enhances their experience.
That’s an awful lot of work it will take to produce money with weight, when most players just accept weightless money as one of the usual conventions for convenience, like healing potions and universal antidotes for all kinds of poison.
Larian is perfectly capable of doing all that and making it work… but they should ask themselves if it is really worth it to spend that time and energy on that thing, instead on other things which players would appreciate and notice more.
