unlike platinum and aluminum, gold is usually found in veins, making it quite common.
dwarves actually think gold is worthless since it can't be used to make weapons and is quite common. moreover, it isn't magma safe, ruining its potential as magma controlling floodgates. they call it fool's limonite, a valuable iron rich metal used to make steel. its sole value is it's shine and lustre, which dwarves think looks nice as decoration.
however, humans think of gold as beyond valuable and will gladly trade 3 bars of iron for the price of one gold bar. while puzzling to most dwarves, experienced ones simply accept it and will gladly trade their gold for iron, snickering at the gullibility of humans behind their backs.
