This is very simple to do:

mob/verb/Give_Gold(mob/M as mob in world)
    var/Ammount = input("How much gold?")as num
    if(usr.Gold<Ammount)
        usr<<"You don't have enough gold!!"
    else
        usr.Gold-=Ammount
        M.Gold+=Ammount
        M<<"[usr] gave you [Ammount] gold!"

if("Yes")
if(usr.Gold>=0)
usr.Gold-=amt
alert("You gave [M] [amt] Gold.")
M << "[usr] gave you [amt] gold"

It ain't a brain surgeon, you know -- it can't assume that when you subtract gold, you want to add it to someone else. Now, naturally, if you also added to M when subtracting from usr, it'd work better. =P

Another small problem: you should compare usr.Gold to the amt, not to 0, since you want to find out if they have enough to give that amount, not if they have enough money to be able to give at least 0.
