Ferengi have never stopped caring about profit, it's a fundamental part of their culture.
Gold pressed latinum is an interesting currency FWIW. IIRC latinum is so valuable that gold is just the container for it, adding little value.

iirc gold is considered worthless.
Gold can be replicated, so it is worthless. I don't know why gold is used to suspend Latium, but it is.
Well gold is famously nonreactive and doesn't tarnish. Plus it looks good.
Looks nice. Non-reactive. Quark talks about gold-pressed latinum having a distinctive clink, so the gold would be a part of that.
That sounds right to me as well now that you mention it.
