Considering its all usually in coins you can spend in town, is the implication that a dragon’s colon is a national treasury mint?
They breathe fire from nuclear fusion. And can fly from all the helium that the nuclear processes generate.

The gold is tribute, right? Give me gold every year and I won’t eat you
Dragons are basically metaphor for the ruling class, so yes.
Or, going by The Hobbit, the gold was just lying around next to all these dwarf skeletons when the dragon moved in
Yes but the book explains smaug was drawn there by its riches. Dragons are just greed metaphors after all though the question remains of dragons are drawn to riches themselves or the aura of greed of those who amassed it.
It’s an innate trait of dragons to seek out riches, I would assume from the time when Morgoth twisted whatever creatures would eventually become dragons.
Awfully generous of Smaug to keep an eye on it, in case anyone tried to sneak in and steal it
Like those dirty little hobbitses
This is actually where the aptly-named Dragon Diamonds come from in the Lunar games. I don’t think the protagonists ever figure it out.
