I think I can explain this for you. If you sell in V 1.00 an item for more than 5000 gold than happens, that all piles of gold will have SAME ID NUMBER. For instance, if you sell item for 31 000 gold, you gain 7 piles of gold (6*5000 + 1* 1000) and all these piles will have got same ID number (for instance 00:00159D147B:UB) absolutelly no matter how much gold in pile is. This is bug, but in V1.00 there werent implement deleting "duped" items, so IIRC if you played Single Player, this couldnt influence your playing at all.
Well on Multiplayer it was very annoying, because after re-entering dungeon, all piles in Town with same ID number disappeared. (Well, i gues one of them left there, but Im not sure).
Off course you can trick this bug:
1) Dont sell valuable items if you dont need it. Keep them in your inventory instead of Gold piles
2) ID number is determine by "1.st" gold piece in pile. So click on Gold pile with right mouse button, write that you want take some amount from your Gold pile, place it somewhere in your inventory, now take rest of pile and add it to your "new Gold pile". You have got same Gold pile with new ID number :)
(Since I know it seems confusedly and my English is quite horrible I join example.
You have got 5000 Gold pile. Take 1 Gold piece from it and place it on other place in your INV. Now take resting 4999 Gold pieces and place them on that 1 Gold piece. And thats it :-) )
Your problem is, that now you have got newer version of Diablo which has deleting duped items already implement. Use my advice 2) it should work.
With rings i cannot help you. If they have got same number you have to lose one of them. But dont worry, you will find the better one soon.
Item with same ID number can be generated even in V 1.09 and its no so uncomon as it seems.
But as other advices.... play V 1.09, you can avoid these problems.

Hey I cannot say, it so terrible. If you play "normally" (= no touching Hidden shrine without equip and so on :) ) you cannot notice much problems. And I love it, because without playing V 1.00 Id never find so many church unique items :D

I dont understand why you wanna cheat. Well, there are ways how you can get more Gold, but in fact you dont need exploit them. Gold amount from your previous games stays in your inventory (not as a pile. You see just number in "Gold Window" but you can use it for all purchases as well), so if you will play again and again, you will collect enough money for everything you want buy.
BTW: Kill The Butcher, you can sell his Cleaver for than 1125 I guess. Dont identify It. Price is the same.
