Aurolatry

Aurolatry is the worship of gold. Gold exists because it is so shiny, beautiful, and doesn't corrode, but due to those awarding qualities, God wanted gold to be precious so it is rare in the earth. God thinks preciousness would make the gold more awarding once it finds it (this is how the gold medal is given to the top winners was inspired), as well as for making a lot of money out of it, making them rich.

A god responsible for making gold on earth is Chrysus, the spirit of gold.
