Mainly at first:
Find a rocky biome and mine only the rocks with the yellow lines on them.

Then later in the game:
1) Find Pig King
2) Have a way to raise sanity and dig a bunch of graves
3) Sell otherwise worthless items to Pig King for lots of gold

Also, in a pinch:
Pig King will give 1 gold for any meat except raw Monster Meat and will accept Eggs, but not Tallbird Eggs.
