If it could be produced at will, it's not super-valuable. Supply and demand and all that, a steady supply means less value, he'd have to be careful not to flood the market.
It may also be he can make it, but not all that you see in one go, rather building it up over time.

yup, which means the nagato/itachi fight is in maybe 5 episodes max
Meh, I'd rather see the Mizukage vs. Division 4 battle.

Assuming he had a decent understanding of the economy (and given that he's a Kage, it's likely), I doubt he would flood the market with the gold he produced. But I also don't think he would only trade it in times of severe distress.
Meh, I don't think he can make it, at least not in the way most elements are made by ninja. Magnet-Release is seemingly based solely on control over a material, unlike most other Nature Transformations which involve both creation & control.
On the other hand, perhaps he had a way to make Gold Dust using other raw materials, much like Gaara makes Sand, and he possibly 'summons' it.

imo kishi just had him manipulate gold dust cause of the properties of gold. he needed something that could be denser than sand to justify his ability to prevent the shukaku from devastating suna on his lonesome, and then he needed something to be scattered around the battlefield for the trollkage to be beaten with cause of it's lower melting point than the silica around. his power is just plot convenience to me

Yes I know, as I pointed out in this part: "Magnet-Release is seemingly based solely on control over a material, unlike most other Nature Transformations which involve both creation & control."
Gold can still be 'created' from certain mineral compounds. The only reason I suggested it is because Gaara is supposedly similar to him.
Considering he's only appeared in 4-5 chapters, yeah, I'd say his power was extremely convenient to plot progression.

Lee using chakra, jigsaw shaped chakras, and a Giant flying bird. Kewl.
Hopefully the juubi transforms into something actually menacing cause right now perfect susano is in the lead.it should be a god type character that doesn't need a trainer with 4 badges to control. Shit is ridiculous
Chapter wasn't that bad, however I rather see what sasuke and co are up to to be honest
Back to bed.....
