I doubt a TL 12 galaxy would care much for gold other then it being a good conductor for electricity. More over anybody with any sense will quickly realize everybody trying to make gold (or anything regarded as precious) like its going out of style will make that thing worthless.
Never mind that if the hard science means no FTL then it will take so long to get to these systems that it would not be worth it for that reason.
