Trying to raise money without acquiring more base/temper materials; enemy lists here don't seem to have info on how much money enemies drop?
I just got Serge's body back, have yet to go Sea of Eden.

Equip the Profiteer Purse and fight around Home World's Fort Dragonia. I've never really had a problem with money...

However I got rid of that money increasing accessory since if you disassemble it you can easily make Serge and Kid with Copper base weapons (which are the best ones to get early on.)
Later like final dungeon 1500+ and some dropped accessories Angels Charms can sell for that amount or more.

VeghBot once again fails to provide useful information.
Equip the Profiteer's Purse (another world, Van's house, hidden under the stairs in the main room) and run around Fort Dragonia (HW) and even knock around Mt. Pyre. You aren't "supposed" to go to HW Fort Dragonia yet, but you should be able to whoop most of the enemies thereabouts fairly easily, and it would also be a good time to snag *Golem and start harvesting Shiny Sands, that way you'll be avoiding getting any of the generic tempers.
Apart from that, Chronopolis enemies have a fair payout, but that isn't available for a while.

But I prefer NOT keeping the Profiteer's Purse at all after all when you disassemble it you can make Copper Weapons this early on which I always did.
So the ONLY way I made money is just selling accessories like random Angels Charms dropped (final dungeon only) while killing every non boss enemy in the current dungeon I'm at.

Dismantling the Profiteers Purse is bad advice. @Copper and @Iron become available after the events at Viper Manor--practically the next segment after Termina, where you get the purse. The enemies and bosses there should be easy enough with @Bone weapons and armor.
Getting the @Copper and @Iron one dungeon earlier is not worth going through the entire game without Profiteer Purse, especially if you're trying to grind for GP later. There is only one per, and the equip effect makes a difference.

Besides all that, VeghBot, no one ever asked what YOU are doing where YOU are in the game. TC asked what to do for max cash at HIS (or her?) point in the game. Others have answered helpfully. You have not. Period. This is normal.
As Manaflux pointed out, the iron equipment SOON becomes readily available, and shortly thereafter, altogether obsolete. Dismantling the Profiteer's Purse (which increases gold won by 25% and never runs out) for 3 measly pieces of copper and iron is not economically advisable.
SAVE your Profiteer's Purse. WAIT til you can get copper and iron normally (not that long, I promise). PROFIT!!1
EDIT: Forgot to mention, TC, if you want to advance the stoy a bit, there are a few enemies on Earth Dragon Isle that drop Mythril and such, and pay decent. Then there's also Gaea's Navel, which drop denadorite bits and pay some okay money. If tempers are a problem, whip together some cheap equipment (preferably iron and/or mythril) and sell it for cash. I'd suggest steering clear of stone equipment, though, as it requires a hefty forging cost...

Funnily or perhaps sadly enough, I have yet to do a single run of this game where I kept the Profiteer's Purse so much as getting into Viper Manor. I'm a greedy somebody, and want my damn Iron weapons for my Breaking and Entering job (as well as those damnedable Dwarfs at the Hydra Marshes). It may not be economically advisable or what, but even I'm still amazed at how quickly I can destroy Viper Manor with Steel Swallow and Turn elements.
I see the point, don't get me wrong there. I really do. You're not at all wrong, and I won't try to say or prove otherwise. But I just can't bring myself to keep that Purse. ^_^; I always get nagged by the thought of having a superior level of weapons, even if it's only...what, 5 bosses before I could get them anyway? (7 if I choose to save Kid.) I don't know why. I just feel somehow better if I take the weapons over the increased cash flow later...

Same here when it comes to upgrading weapons via disassembling the purse over getting more money I'd rather make the 3x Copper/Iron weapons right away over getting a 25% money increase.

Screw grinding for gold, just beat the game and abuse continue+ loop for max items/gold. The game is easy enough without grinding for prism equipment.
