Have they reduced the amount of money that drops in old Dungeons as well as old Raids if anyone knows?

Not to sure, but I do feel like with AOE looting, the amount of loot has been nurffed. IE: Been doing Steamvaults and Slavepens for my rep grinds in Outlands, and huge pulls (on heroic) like half/quater instance before 1st boss's, nets very little cloth, like 1 ~ 2g. Lots of clams, but that's a given considering the mob types, and vender trash. Though I did notice most of the gray/white weapons are selling for a decent amount of gold.
I can't speak for 5mans, but raids had their gold normalized.
You now will always loot X gold, regardless of how many players were in the dungeon (so if you would get, on average, 25g/boss with 25 players, you'll still only get 25g/boss solo.)
Doing AoE looting runs in Uldum, I can say that trash, cloth, etc seems on par with how it was pre-aoe-looting.
Off Topic: AoE looting also now compiles extra ore/herbs/etc from bountiful bags into one stack (where before they would appear in the loot frame as two seperate stacks.)
they normalized all gold drops from normal monsters and boss monsters in raids and dungeons. so 5 mans get 1/5th the gold if you're by yourself, 10mans 1/10th, etc...
can't find a source quick but it's true.
here's your source http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6147286884#9

Yeah it's not just bosses, it's trash as well in all older dungeons. I was super freaking excited and pulled all the way to Alar in Tempest Keep only too loot like 2g. They averaged 1g per trash mob before.
Do you really think such a nice feature such as AOE looting would come without a catch do you?
AOE looting definately seems to not get you as much....doing Tol Barad dailies (left it rather late in the expansion but never mind) when I have to kill the Rustburg (?) villagers I get about 27 silver per villager if i kill and loot them individually however I have done pulls of 5 to 6 mobs and once they are all dead I aoe loot and get around 60 silver :/
Ah that's interesting that they generalized it.
No need to boggle
The achievement is shared between characters, much like the honorable kill achievements. So you had one character at 101k and one or more additional characters with a sum of 19k. Upon logging in all of your characters the totals are tallied together for the achievement.
That's because it added up the gold looted amount across all your characters (that you've logged onto since patch.)
Yea its been nerfed to hell
I planned to run every tbc heroic every day before my work started to come in to get a nice pile of gold, but, Noooo
for example,
Hellfire ramps, when I used to solo it bored a few weeks back, each mob dropped between 20s and 78s give or take, as well as the cloth and greens, I was super hyped to start soloing these places with aoe looting, the only thing that put me off soloing old stuff for gold was individually clicking each corpse, so yea mega pissed right now,
But saying that, I still do it, sell greens that arent good for morphing, and white items / grey trash to the vendors, and I make between 200-500g per 2 heroics,
Oh I also AH the cloth atm, its at a high on my server, 10-17g a stack instead of like 4,
oh and I made about 5-600 in kara only going up to opera event, but I pulled every trash pack, lovely soul essences!
