It's a funny thing, but that's more or less what inflation does in the primary world. At least the part of wealth that involves cash balances.
There's not necessarily anything wrong with that. After all, if someone gets in a fight and suffers permanent crippling, they may end up with One Eye or One Hand or Bad Leg, each of which is an actual (not quasi-) disadvantage.
On the other hand, you're perfectly free to assume that the economy has an unlimited capacity to absorb monetary shocks. This is a fantasy campaign, right? One of the basic assumptions of fantasy thinking is that gold IS wealth . . .
