Mus notes:
Including *all* the money, or at least all the Galleons.  

" 'You see the numerals around the edge of the coins?' Hermione said,
holding one up for examination at the end of their fourth meeting. 
The coin gleamed fat and yellow in the light from the torches.  "On
real Galleons that's just a serial number referring to the goblin who
cast the coin.  On these fake coins, though, the numbers will change
to reflect the time and date of the next meeting.' " [OotP UKhb: 353]

Your goblin fanatic should then regard all the Galleons in circulation
as rightfully belonging to the caster.  Well, it's certainly a novel
view of monetary policy.
