“Hacks” is very vague term, so there is no one simple answer.

Easiest way to prevent shady gold income is server authority. Your game actually doesn’t decide your gold value. It sends requests to the server and server is the one deciding if the operation is valid. If it finds anything suspicious, it simply denies the request and gold value doesn’t change.
