TIL that the original "the other gold", silver, is only 9x more common than gold, in terms of "how much have we ever mined". Platinum, we've mined about 1/20th as much as gold. So that part of the D&D economy actually works pretty well; copper, on the other hand, is something like 3600x more common than gold.
