What kind of dragon hoards paper money anyway? When you're a dragon, you can outlive empires of those little pink-skins. The paper you hoard when they switch to fiat currency will be worthless if you decide to cash in when they're on the verge of collapse, but the gold will be valuable long after their towers and fortifications have crumbled to dust.

...Assuming that they don't back their currency with a portal to a solid gold planet in a money-verse. Or develop large-scale gold creation/transmutation industries.
