Shout thanks, getting more gold (9)
I believe the answer is:
yellowing
'getting more gold' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'shout thanks' is the wordplay.
'shout' becomes 'yell' (synonyms).
'thanks' becomes 'owing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'yell'+'owing'='YELLOWING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for yellowing that I've seen is " showing effects of age".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
