Where are the hardcoded (non-MB) gold "faucets" in FFXIV?

Just grab a couple of people and farm the lower/higher floors of Palace of the Dead and/or Heaven on High? Many of the items dropped by Hoard sacks still sell decently and the rarer Hoard items can even be over 100k on the MB depending on your server's economy... Plus, that Night Pegasus whistle is still selling for over 10 million gil on my server... Palace/Heaven are fast and easy gil for sure.

Likewise, other people suggested ventures for Allagan pieces, but you might have better luck doing quick ventures, which can turn up a lot of junk--but, if your retainers are decently geared--can also turn up rare glamour items and even expensive dyes. If you retainer brings back a set of jet black dye, for example, you can usually sell a set of two for between 250-500k, from an hour-long venture...

But basically if you're not saving for a house or sinking your gil on tons of glamour items and rare minions, you really shouldn't ever struggle for gil... The game provides you plenty for just completing basic tasks.

You'll definitely get more gold per time spent from quick exploration. The normal exploration lasts 18 hours, meaning you can normally do only one per day per retainer. And AFAIK they can only bring bronze or silver pieces, worth 100 and 500 gil respectively. Heck, you'd get more gil just having your retainers fetch some crafting materials and selling those on the MB. Or if you want absolutely no interactions with the MB, the items from quick exploration sell to vendors for more total gil than the allagan pieces from 18h exploration.
