Brewjamb-
Diamonds are the only currency that you can use "cross-worlds." You can take from the same "bank" in every world you play in. So, if you take the time, and set up massive amounts of Wishing Wells on several worlds, you can use the profits from them in your "Main" world.
Usually, players will not attend to these as often, coming to collect, and do Events, to pick up more WWs. Like gianteagle said- very expensive and takes time to set these up. You will come across cities that are eerily silent, except for row upon row of WWs, this is a "Diamond Farm." You'll definitely know it when you see it!
