So I thought this was happening to me as well, but I figured out what the issue is.
When you see the large number of gold at the top of your accumulated loot from the match, you think that's the actual amount of gold you looted. In actuality it's the total value of all the loot if you were to sell it to the merchant, including the coins you looted. I know it was confusing to me as well.
After the match you will see your total gold start to build up, and then drop down again. It's a visual bug.
It's adding the total value of your loot but then dropping it down to the actual coins that were looted, not the total value of the items.
This false accumulation and subsequent drop is making players think they aren't getting their gold.
You actually are gaining gold, but only the coins you picked up. You'd get that total number of gold if you sold your items as well.
You can test this by taking a screenshot of your gold before your match, and then look at how many looted coins are in your bag from the run before you return to the lobby. It does add up properly.
This animation of increasing your gold up to the total value of the loot in your bag and then decreasing it is confusing, and needs to be fixed ASAP before players quit because they think they are not getting their gold.
