how does that work?

the mroe gold reserves you have, the more inflation you will receive? so you can't really save up huge amounts of money?

No, you don't get any inflation from your treasury fortunately. However, if you own provinces with gold as resource, you will get inflation in certain cases. From the wiki:

In EU2, having too much gold income is one cause of inflation. The way this works is not known exactly, but the basic outline is this: if more than 40% of a country's monthly income is derived from gold income, then it will get a variable amount of inflation each month. The rate is always at least a rate of 0.1 points of inflation per year, when you are at exactly 40%. As the percentage of income rises, so does the rate to a maximum of 0.25 points of inflation.
