Despite my earlier comments, I think I'm going to go for gold shrines. As it's just critical to generate cash as fast as possibe, the strategy I have settled on is to build a DV gold coin production machine. One by one I'm going to replace my less productive dragons with more productive ones - but I will save pairs of hard to get ones. Fortunately the hard to get ones are pretty much the highest producing.
Here's a list of the productivity index:

I calculated the index by factoring in the amount of coins produced and the amount of time you have to retrieve the coins before they max out. Hope this helps.
At the moment I'm just going to replace the bottom of the list with the top of the list. I figure I will have the following when the transition is complete:
- 2 earth habitats
- 2 cold habitats
- 2 moon habitats
- 2 sun habitats
- 19 rainbow habitats
It will take a while to convert because of the long breeding times for the premium dragons. But I will have a gold coin factory when I'm done. Unless I miss picking some up before they meet their limit, it has the potential to produce $14,800,000 gold coins a day. Since it takes about 87,000,000 to take 50 dragons to level 15, which will elevate two shrines, it will take me six days of production to generate the cash needed. There of course will be extra time taken for the initial setup, and then also breeding the new dragons.
