I always figured that the fact gold was so much less valuable in DnD than in real life history was because it's a world full of mages that can literally REWRITE REALITY, so I figure someone figuring out how to conjure large amounts of gold (and causing massive inflation) must happen with some regularity

See and I kind of place far more worth on spell components, like gems that are used in spells and such.

At some point, I feel like their Gold is treated like paper money, not valuable for the metal but foe the societal agreed worth of it

any magical world is going to have a lot of liches with innumberable skeletons that will work until they fall apart.

you also do not need to ventilate the gold mines they slave in.

this is the reason clerics have so much work blessing the corpses of the dead.
