I feel for Bag of Gold. Nobody wants it :-[
Would Bag of Gold not be junk if it put the gold into your hand? Or gave two golds?

That's just a Treasury.
I think having it gain to hand is enough to make it more attractive while keeping the spirit of the original (that is, being the best money gainer ever and still failing to be a power card). It would at least be able to try and compete with Princess and Diadem as payload.

No, it really wouldn't be even close to competing with Princess as payload. It would just be slightly better at giving your Apprentice $6 cards to trash.
Think of all the times your opponent has won the first tournament and while waiting, you've frantically whispered to yourself "dont-take-followers-dont-take-followers-dont-take-followers." Now think of all the times you've said "dont-take-princess-dont-take-princess-dont-take-princess." That will tell you which card is better.
I think that bag o' gold needs to become something that is good even if it's only situationally good. No one is ever going to get tournament to get bag of gold.
I actually think mercenary is better than followersi think spoils is better than the rulebook
The biggest shock to me here is that the guy who filled his list out backward thought Diadem and another card were worse than Bag of Gold.
Edge case: Treasure hunter is a non terminal that can add more value to your deck than Bag o' gold. So is hero+mint with an action token on it.
Anyway I agree with this post for the most part. The thing is that it is really rare that it is worth getting it over duchy that late in the game even in a kingdom with moderate synergy.
