To me it seems there would be enough incoming muggle money in the
money exchange business to not need any contact with the Muggle world
for the Gringotts' goblins to obtain Muggle money.  There is a need
for all muggle-borns to trade Muggle money for Wizard money, and
perhaps even some of the mixed-bloods if the main bread winner was the
muggle parent.  I believe there would be enough Muggle money coming
into Gringotts to supply any need for the exchange of Wizard money to
Muggle money, since contact with the muggle world is intentionally
limited.
