Two thoughts:
1- There is something unique about Bag of Gold: its a "gainer". Gainers can be really important on some boards with the right trash for benefit cards. Think Apprentice or Remodel. Both love gold gaining.
2- the other asymmetry in the game is ruins. 99% of the time ruins are just bad. But every now and then they will be the only source of +buy. I so at least one game by building an engine and holding on to a ruined market for a come from behind victory (it may have involved a King's Court for action of buys). Even more rare is when you need the other ruins. But if there is no virtual cash on the board and you have an otherwise good KC board ruined Mine could be used, or evenRuined Village if there is no other +action. But realistically it will usually just be the +buy you need to watch out for.
(I remember now - it was actually an apothecary engine that I needed the +buy for!)
