Sort of.
Using is a risky term to use, since that's an actual game term with respect to Items. All the Items you have in play are
carried, while those carried Items giving you a bonus or special ability are the ones you are
using. The Class and Race you have in play are just simply referred to your Class and Race, you aren't really
using them. As for lingering Curses, they aren't technically in play so much as out to remind you. I.e., you can't discard them for the purposes of powering a special ability or to "pay" for a Curse or Bad Stuff that you just got hit with.

In our hand we keep everything else, e.g. unused curses, alternate races/classes, monsters, and items we can't use (b/c of race/class incompatibility, we have too many 2-handed items, etc.). My wife thinks all items (those with a money value) should be displayed on the table, face-up, even if they're not in play. Is she right?

Yes and no. You may play
any Item to the table, even if you can't use it (e.g., Hands are full, wrong Class), or you aren't going to use it right now (like one-shot Items). You just have to turn an Item sideways if you aren't using it. However, you are not required to play all of your Items to the table. And, remember, you can only carry one Big Item, so that means you can only have one in play. All of the other cards must remain in your hand.
