In my current game, I can't get gold. I can loot it, and I can have NPCs trade it to me, but it doesn't go into my inventory, it just disappears. I'm actually unable to acquire gold. Reloading doesn't help, so you should be able to reproduce simply by loading up this save game. I'm in the Seeker camp, so you can just try to sell stuff to NPCs and see how you don't get any gold. Experiencing the inability to loot gold would be a bit more involved, but I imagine they're both being caused by the same thing, as I didn't have this problem last game, nor earlier in this game.
