Conjuring it isn't the only way gold could be devalued. They could simply have better sources of natural gold. (Maybe the magical world's mining operations are simply a couple orders of magnitude better than muggle ones - either because magic helps ('Accio gold'? A targeted vanishing spell?), or because there's another species (e.g goblins or dwarves) who are fundamentally better at it. Or maybe they simply have richer sources (because they snag all the best spots as magic-only sites). Etc..)
They could also need far more gold than the real world as well, if they have so much of it as Harry's vault seems to indicate. That would compensate for easier access.
