Gold support items

This is in my mind for about a week but, as I think more about it, didn't relic shield the only real support item between the 3 starter?

I mean, Ancient Coin give gold and health to support, Spellthief's Edge some ap gold and mana for the support, but Relic shield is the only one who give something to the support and his adc without go need of spell. Plus, except for taric, it's the only start support item who complete a champ kit if he lack of something (tanky support usually don't have healing ability cause of their cc/shield kit) Wouldn't it be better, when most of the popular support are kinda tanky these they, to delay the heal till the Targon's Brace (or even face of the mountain), since the 2 other support item gain their second utility only at their 3rd stage?

I would really like to see something supportive added to the other two at their 1st level, not any nerf to the relic shield. The Spell thief could give your nearest ally some mana each time you get your gold from shooting people. The ancient coin could give nearby champs a tiny speed boost every time they last hit a minion.

A ms boost for every minion will be maybe a bit too much and too close to the active the item gain at full upgrade. But on the same idea, an AS boost if for a nearby ally champ if he kill x minion/monster in a y laps of time can be more balanced
