Yes, it did, not just according to the movie but to
the books (e.g. PS/SS 5--Hagrid tells Harry he has
gold in Gringotts: "D'yeh think yer parents didn't
leave yeh anything?").

I think the line you quoted refers to more sentimental
objects than gold.  When Harry first receives the
cloak he is overwhelmed by the thought that it was his
dad's.  The money, while much appreciated, doesn't
have this effect.
