"One man's crap is another man's treasure" taken a little too literally. Many fictional creatures have various biological functions which produce some sort of waste or other material (i.e. spit, tears, urine, fecal matter, vomit, the list goes on). Most of the time these wastes are treated like, well, waste, and disposed of accordingly. Most of the time. But for those lifeforms who won the Superpower Lottery, their various waste products, fecal or otherwise, are like gold to other species (or literally are gold).
The reason why the species itself doesn't find this material valuable is that it may be, ahem, common as crap on its homeworld. Face it, it may be valuable, but it's still poo, vomit, etc. Oftentimes a facet of Bizarre Alien Biology, and may lead to Monster Organ Trafficking if someone gets a little too wealth-hungry. Compare Pooping Food, where the waste turns out to be perfectly edible food. If it has healing properties, see Fantastic Medicinal Bodily Product. If it's waste, but still manages to save someone, see Revolting Rescue. Body to Jewel is a specific Sub-Trope that covers bodily fluids being turned into Mineral MacGuffins.
Truth in Television if you consider the useful and unusual applications of real-life animal droppings.
Warning: High concentration of spoilers due to this trope oftentimes being in The Reveal, and always full of Squick. Don't confuse with Polish the Turd; that trope is about making metaphorical "turds" more appealing, at least superficially.

The Smurfs has the chicken that lays painted Easter eggs in the Season 9 episode "Painter's Egg-cellent Adventure". Smurf essence, while not an example of the trope in itself, can also be extracted from the sweat, tears, and hair of the Smurfs themselves.

Adventure Time has Finn and Jake ending up in a pile of bananas at the start of "Return to the Nightosphere," and constantly wonder why they ended up in it (and why the demons are so grossed out by it). The next episode, "Daddy's Little Monster," shows that one of the demons of the Nightosphere poops bananas. Out his ears. Fortunately, they find the footage of this before Jake bit into one of the bananas...

MapleStory seems to mock this trope with the item "The Legendary Gold Poop Hat". What's sad is that this item is in a series of three items: Pairing it with an item based on flies makes flies circle around your character, while there is a purely aesthetic item along with it known as the "Poo Stick". No, we're not making this up. Yes, it is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

In The Ship Avenged, Sainians produce "mouth rubies" that humans rebrand into "crown rubies". The result of a socially embarrassing gastric disorder that they hate to admit to, they're both amused and disgusted that humans so value what they regard as malodorous solidified drool. The rubies are almost always quite small, as generally Sainians with the disorder discard the stones soon after they form and can't normally be induced to let them grow, but Joat's tasked with moving some enormous ones and is told "Everything has its price." She knows they're real because they do smell, though to humans it's a pleasant musky scent.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers:
There's a convoluted tale in which Fat Freddy's cat was kidnapped by aliens whose ship had run out of fuel. Terrified, the cat crapped onto the deck...
Also an even more convoluted one in which Fat Freddy's aunt, a witch, turned her husband into a parakeet. Eventually he's turned back, then turns her into a chicken who actually does have solid gold poop (but her eggs are only Grade B, medium).

The plot behind A Second Chance at Eden, a prequel to The Reality Dysfunction was set into motion when the living habitat was found to have been filtering and stockpiling precious metals as a byproduct of its asteroid mining/eating. The conspirators had planned to steal as much as they could by replacing a spaceship's parts with solid gold and platinum.

Harry Potter:
Due to being Hogwarts' Caretaker and living right next to the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid has access to all sorts of magical creatures, as well as their waste products. Unicorn hair, for example, is used in wands and potions. Hagrid uses the unicorn tail hair he finds caught in branches in the forest as thread and binding for bandages.
Bezoar stones are foreign masses that have gestated in the gastrointestinal tract. They were highly prized as a protection against poisons until their effectiveness was debunked. In Harry Potter it turns out they only work against magic poisons.
On the more "normal" side of this, wizards generally use fertilizer made from dragon or mooncalf manure. In at least the latter case, it explicitly has magical properties.

Toriko. Some of the best ingredients have rather odd sources:
The last ingredient needed to recreate Century Soup perfectly is Wall Penguin saliva.
Mellow Cola, the best cola in existence, is the Salamander Sphinx's tears.
The videogame Toriko: Gourmet Monsters reveals that one of the most delicious mushrooms ever, the Big Bang Mushroom, grows exclusively on the extinct Death Gores. Yes, it's basically Athlete's Foot.
The Billion Bird's unfertilized eggs, laid only when the Bird takes flight in joy, are incredibly delicious and contain so many nutrients that they promote instant hair and nail growth.
When the Tonyudo is frightened into submission, it cries tears of delicious soy milk.
The legendary Soup PAIR is Monkey King Bambina's testicles. PAIR used to be produced by the planet itself, but Bambina's ancestor drank it all by himself down to the last drop, and the soup's essence became infused in the bodies of the Ballboons. He can even use his poop as a form of transportation.

The alien Nusurans in Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse have particular digestive systems and excrete a silica crystal once a year. The largest and highest-quality crystals require a high calorie diet and strong laxatives. They and other sapient races hold these as very useful in storing data on computers. This also means that outbreaks of Nusuran genital lice are a matter of extreme concern on places like the bridge of a ship - the lice are tenacious and can completely destroy a lot of essential systems.

SCP Foundation:
SCP-1330 is a multi-universal garbage dump. One object found is a toilet bowl full of polished diamonds.
SCP-391 looks like a normal barn owl… probably because it is a normal barn owl. Well, except for the fact that when it eats, it coughs up waste pellets made of various precious metals, instead of bone and fur (as one would find in ordinary owl pellets). So far, the Foundation has found pellets made of gold, silver, platinum, and indium.
SCP-1618 is an Are We Cool Yet? artifact that can turn waste products into this and objects of value into refuse that includes genitalia and used nuclear rods.
SCP-3000 excretes a thick, brackish, grey fluid codenamed Y-909. Said fluid is used to produce amnestics, making it highly valuable to the Foundation.
SCP-3171 are sentient plants that produce spores which are also used in making amnestics.

Gold is the most prevalent color/substance in Elden Ring, and of the many, many items you can collect, one of them is Gold-Tinged Excrement. It's described as a highly stable substance; it doesn't dry out, nor does it ever lose its warmth or scent — because gold, within this setting, is the color of order and permanence. "For better or for worse, it remains as it is." As such, it is used in the crafting of the most fetid weapons, the use of which might poison yourself (there are some builds that actually use this to their advantage).

In World of Warcraft the crystal Azsharite, found only in the cliffs of Azshara, is a highly energetic and rare material. As it turns out, it's the excretions of cliff giants who, due to having decades between bowel movements, tend to have ones that are very... concentrated.
In the original game it was highly valued for use in demon-hunting weapons; following the Cataclysm, goblins have deemed it an ideal goblin energy source, i.e. powerful and prone to sudden and unplanned explosions.
Bonus humor can be found in certain formations of Azsharite which take the form of humanoids in various states of terror. Looting one during quests can reveal a note concerning how foolish they were to go hunting a giant's leavings.

The Binding of Isaac has literal golden poop, which drops coinsnote Which can either be pennies, nickles, or dimes. or the Counterfeit Penny trinket (provided you've unlocked it) when destroyed. You can either find it rarely replacing regular poop, or by using the spacebar item "The Poop" if you also have the Midas Touch item.

ARK: Survival Evolved:
The base game has dung beetles, which process the obvious input into more valuable fertilizer and oil for gardening and crafting respectively. But the true prize goes to the Achatina, a giant snail that poops cementing paste.
The ARK: Extinction DLC has the gacha, giant cybernetic sloths whose wastes take the form of crystal geodes. These crystals can contain anything from uncommon crafting materials to high-quality weapons and blueprints, hence the name. As a bonus, while gacha will eat anything, their Trademark Favorite Food is snow owl pellets, their waste product.

Exalted has the Beasts of Resplendent Liquid - a type of magical, immortal dinosaurs that eat opium and pee liquid heroin.
The Beasts actually purify and excrete various substances, depending on the breed. Their original purpose was to be the ultimate pharmacologist's friend (and a precious few that produce other substances are still around). The heroin producers are simple the least rare and best-known.
A Lunar with Scorpion and Toad Mastery can excrete any drug or poison they've ever consumed. While it's supposed to be used for combat, the potential for moneymaking schemes is obvious, and the book the Charm's featured in mentions that the less military uses got a lot of exercise in the First Age.

Vorkosigan Saga: In A Civil Campaign, there's an example in "butterbugs". Miles' brother, Mark and his Mad Scientist employee genetically engineer these beetles that spit up a substance that is sort of a bland butter, but tastes delicious when given some flavoring and the characters remark on the disconnect between how good it tastes and how disgusting its origin is (not helped by Mark serving it to people before telling them what they are eating, or the fact that the butterbugs are the ugliest insect in existence).

American Dad!
After Roger fails to find his species's superpower in one episode, he poops himself out of shock when he crashes into a power station (trying to see if he could fly, possibly). What comes out is a solid gold turd... encrusted with diamonds. Said turd is found by some random people, where is proves to be an Artifact of Attraction with multiple people murdered fighting over it.
In another episode, when going through his reproductive cycle, Roger squirts out breast milk that, when combined with Francine's potato salad, is absolutely addictive. Pretty soon Stan has him gorged to the point of bursting and hooked up to a milking machine 24/7.

In The Philosophical Strangler by Eric Flint, mention is made of how miserable the lives of dwarves are, including their being used in some horrible death-camp experiment run by The Empire's top scientific and magical experts. It isn't until the prequel Forward The Mage that it is revealed there exists a magic scroll that turns "base materials" into gold which only works if a dwarf takes a dump on it, since there is no material more "base" than dwarf shit. When The Empire gets a second-hand report about this discovery, they start gathering dwarves, chaining them to toilets, and experimenting on the poor little buggers to find out how to replicate this (unaware that said scroll is required). When someone brings up that it's gold, yes, but it's made from dwarf shit, the guy that recommends this plot states that gold may as well be dwarf shit, for how many dwarf slaves that they send to the mines.

Dungeons & Dragons:
In the Forgotten Realms setting, the gems known as "King's Tears" were said to be the crystallized tears of long dead wizard kings. Each one contained an image of the thing the king loved most.
And in regular D&D, bat guano is a regular component in the old mainstay Fireball spell. Almost certainly a reference to Real Life historical uses of guano in making gunpowder.
In Unearthed Arcana, if the goddess Berronar Truesilver comes upon a dwarven community in need, she may cut off one of her beard-braids for them, and it will turn to gold.
Monster Manual V introduces "Gem Scarabs", cat-sized beetles with iridescent gemstones set in their carapaces. The beetles use these to cast low-level spells, but they lose this power if slain. The gems are still valuable, however, so it's worth it to hunt the beetles to harvest them.
The second half of the game's namesake may count as well. Nearly every part of a dragon is valuable, from its hide, its bones, to many of its organs, and their bodily fluids are ingredients in various alchemical and magical processes. In First Edition AD&D, one method for destroying artifacts was to steep them in brain juices of Bahamut.
In 4th edition, the much-reviled rust monster sometimes has a gut full of residuum, a magic-infused dust that is tremendously valuable in casting ritual spells and creating enchanted items. It's meant as an Anti Frustration Feature to dull the sting of watching your fabulously expensive magic weapons and armour turn into a bug's lunch.

After doing some bugfixing in Dwarf Fortress, Toady accidentally released a version of .31.20 with some test data still in the coding... such that poultry laid iron chairs instead of eggs. Due to the recent changes in how minerals were distributed, a lot of players bootlegged this version for the sake of having an alternate source of precious iron for their forges.

In Farscape, pulse weapon ammunition is somehow made from large tubers, which also have mind-enslaving effects for most people when they eat them... but not Hynerians like Rygel. Their digestive system converts the root into the explosive oil. The result: explosive urine. This from a species that also normally farts helium (the squeaky-voice gas) when they are nervous.

The 13 Clocks had a woman who cried gemstomes whenever she was sad. Unfortunately by the time the heroes came around, her tears dried up completely due to people telling her sad stories so much. However... she also cries gems when she's laughing hard only for them to turn back into water after two weeks. Long enough for the heroes' purpose.

Neopets:
Dung is implied to be just normal dung, but it has many uses in Neopia. It's edible (though many pets don't want to eat it), and many decorations, furniture, and other items are made of it.
Many foods are made of snot (though they're generally unpopular).
Water faerie tears have healing powers.

Kopi luwak, the most expensive drink in the world (around $300/gram), is made primarily of coffee beans harvested from the feces of a certain species of civet. Fable II contains a reference to kopi luwak: the most powerful coffee drink in the game is called "Mustela," and it's created by the same process, only involving weasels. Another coffee company does the same thing, but with elephants.

One "What If?" AU-story from Crayon Shin-chan depicts Himawari, Shin-Chan's kid sister and the baby of the Nohara family, as a Doorstop Baby which the Noharas adopt after finding out she had the ability to defecate gold. The Noharas becomes insanely rich in the process, but trouble follows when Shin-Chan (thanks to his Loose Lips as usual) spills the secret behind their wealth to the public. Himawari ends up kidnapped, with the Noharas getting caught as well after a botched rescue mission, but when Himawari is made to poop, she ends up defecating regular feces. Then, aliens from the Sunflower planet comes to their rescue, saving the Noharas and revealing Himawari to be a member of their race (himawari being Japanese for "sunflower"), whose babies poop gold only in the first nine months of their lives. The aliens offer a 1-ton golden poop statue worth billions to the Noharas in exchange for Himawari, but to their surprise, the Noharas reject the gold, preferring to keep Himawari after they've grown attached to the baby.

The Grumpy Transmuter from Bluxte in the French comic book series Valérian is a variation. It's a rare, bad-mannered little alien critter with the power to convert energy into matter. As a consequence, you can feed it a tiny object, and it will immediately crap out dozens of exact replicas of said object as long as it has the energy to do so (it runs out fairly quickly, though, and must be recharged). Obviously, it's typically used to replicate valuable items like diamonds and other gemstones. Fittingly enough, the creature's tail looks like a row of pearls on a thread.

Dragon scales in Far to the North are this to the Rethuii, the native people of the North, who find them scattered around "like pinecones", which leads them to express disbelief when they find out that a group of Saengorians are not only looking for them to bring back to their King, but resorted to being Disguised in Drag to get inside, held their entire family hostage and ripped a baby from her mother's arms to get them.

Futurama loves this trope.
Zoidberg always hacks up stuff when he has grit in his throat. In "Bendin' in the Wind", Leela and Amy think it's disgusting, until they notice the "stuff" is actually beautiful pearls, keeping in tune with his resemblance to various aquatic species — that's how pearls are really made. Zoidberg thinks they're disgusting too; when Leela and Amy start cooing over how beautiful the pearls are, he says "Eeew, you're touching them!", which also provides the page quote.
Dark matter, a prime starship fuel, is Nibblonian poo.
The addictive soft drink Slurm turns out to come out of the behind of the queen of a hive of alien slugs. Interestingly, it's possible for humanoids to be turned into one of said queens (though the resulting Slurm is said to have a crappy taste) and said queen appears to be addicted to Slurm herself... Fry does do a Spit Take after finding out what Slurm is, but immediately goes back to guzzling the stuff. The Queen points out that honey comes from "bee's behinds" (which isn't exactly true but is no less disgusting when you think about it). During the episode, we hear that toothpaste in the Futurama universe is made from some other alien species that the Slurm Queen does not even want to mention.
There's also the episode where ambergris (whale vomit — see Truth in Television below) is an important plot point.
And while less valuable, postage stamp glue is made from toad mucus.
Similarly, Bender occasionally shits bricks at hilarious moments.
Don't forget to give it a blast from your spice weasel! As spice weasels are refillable, with several spices sold by a Neptunian Emeril Lagasse parody for the specific purpose of refilling spice weasels, this may or may not be an example.

Manna from The Bible is interpreted by historians as having been a certain type of insect crap. Particularly amusing since all insects except locusts are distinctly non-kosher to eat, and crap of any kind is ritually unclean. (Obviously, honey is bee vomit; kashrut gives a special exception for honey.)
Also from the Bible: in 2nd Kings chapter 6, the Aramean siege against Samaria would be so great and painful to endure that the people would sell the fourth part of a kab (about 1 cup) of dove's dung for five shekels of silver.

Subverted in SeaQuest DSV. Morale and supply officer Ben Krieg discovers beautiful glowing pellets on the sea bed, which he dubs "Krieglite" and immediately begins planning to market as gemstones. Gold Fever sets in among quite a bit of the crew and Krieg and others have collected considerable supplies of the pellets to take back to land by the time the analysis from the science officer comes in: It's fish poop, the glow is bioluminescent and temporary, and when exposed to air it rapidly starts to decompose, with stinky consequences.

Fablehaven has Viola, the giant cow who takes up the entire barn and is still growing. When Seth asks what they do with her cow patties, Grandma says they use it as fertilizer, which enables them to grow multiple harvests in one year and grow plants that shouldn't even be in the climate. Tanu, the potion master, mentions offhand that anything from Viola could be used for magic, be it hair, blood, milk, or dung.

In the Starfist novel Technokill by Dan Cragg, the alien birds swallow pebbles to help them digest foods, similar to prehistoric dinosaurs. When they excrete the stones, they have been pressurized into gemstones. Unfortunately, the rest of the waste is so toxic that it's impossible for humans to get close to them without serious physical harm.

The whole point of Slime Rancher is basically to harvest and sell the colorful, crystalline poop of the Slimes you can wrangle. The game calls them "plorts", but considering Slimes produce them when they eat, it's not hard to put two and two together. Each kind of plort has it's own unique usage, detailed in the Slimepedia entry for the corresponding Slime. The plorts of the aptly named Gold Slime take this trope to its literal extreme—the plorts aren't outright described as being made of gold, but they're the most valuable of the different plorts by far (which have a base value of 300 newbucks, with second place going to the plorts of the Dervish, Tangle, and Mosaic Slimes, which are all worth only 75), and are so highly valued only because they're shiny.

Shadowrun supplement The Grimoire. When creating magic items, a magician could reduce the difficulty of the enchantment by using exotic materials, such as "bodily fluids from a dragon".
Dunkelzahn's Will indicates that the Great Dragon saved up dropped scales and talon clippings for its entire life (probably a good idea, since they could be used for Sympathetic Magic if they ended up in the wrong hands). However, the Will also bequeaths parts of this hoard of bodily waste to various people and organizations, with the tone of the document implying that they have significant value beyond merely being parts of Dunkelzahn.

In the HD remake of Spelunky, sacrificing a Golden Idol to Kali spawns a Golden Monkey that poops gold nuggets, as well as small gems... Though thanks to The Ghost and how long it takes for the monkey to poop out enough to surpass the money you'd get from the Idol alone, it's usually better to just take the Idol to the exit.

Minecraft: If a frog eats a small-sized magma cube, it will drop a glowing object known as a "froglight" (with the colour of light dropped dependant on what colour frog ate the magma cube). This is the only way to obtain this block, and is the only item which requires such a complicated method of retrieval as it requires the player to either push a frog into the Nether or a magma cube into the Overworld, since the two mobs normally do not spawn in the same dimension.

Doctor Who:
In one episode, there was a fly-like species who traded for food. As the Doctor explained, "they feed off what others leave behind...From their...behind...if you see what I mean. Perfectly natural, they are flies!"
In the classic serial "The Caves of Androzani", the highly valuable life-extending drug spectrox is made from something produced by the bats dwelling in the titular caves. The exact nature of the substance is never explained; however, the antidote to spectrox toxaemia is the milk of the queen bat, which the Doctor uses to save Peri's life at the cost of his own. His Heroic Sacrifice takes on a bit of fridge hilarity when you realise that the Fifth Doctor's last act was to milk a bat.

In Shatterglass by Tamora Pierce, a magical accident results in the creation of a small living glass dragon named Chime, who likes to eat glass-coloring agents and then pukes up (or, more politely, breathes out) pretty colored glass shapes. Her owner makes necklaces out of them. She also makes little marble-looking whorls which are her puke, molded glass flames are her attempt to breathe fire like a normal dragon, a spray of needles which is how she actually defends herself, and lumpy glass rounds that are her dung.

Dye has a rich history of involving nasty organic substances, some of which fit this trope. The famous purple dye of ancient Tyre (which was extremely valuable and gave rise to the association of purple with royalty) was made out of something mucus-y secreted by a sea snail. Urine was often a component in dyes or mordants to help the color set. Easy to collect, after all. "So the reason that policemen's uniforms used to be such a rich and impressive hue was that they had been widdled on by Geordies."
Dyes derived from plants often go through processes that mean that they are incredibly bad smelling - but the end product was incredibly expensive. Fermentation is a common practice. Indigo and woad vats often use urine to turn the colorant water-soluble.

Perdido Street Station:
There's a new drug going around New Crobuzon called dreamshit. Isaac feeds it to a strange caterpillar he has because it's the only thing it's interested in eating. It turns out that dreamshit is made from the secretions of captive adult slake-moths, which they use to feed their larvae. Slake-moths are huge, phasing, thought-eating monsters, and raw dreamshit is digested souls ...and Isaac's caterpillar grows up. Though the dreamshit Isaac feeds the caterpillar is cut with various other things, so it's not as pure as "milk" from an adult moth. This is stated to warp the baby somewhat.
Also, the insect-headed khepri craft ornate sculptures and architecture from the pliable goop they exude after consuming colorberries.

Stellaris allows you to play a Lithoid Species, which eat Minerals instead of food. Some Lithoid species actually shed Rare Crystals (used in cutting edge electronics and advanced materials] scales, excrete Volatile Motes (often used for their being highly energetic, so they can be used as High Explosives or in alloy manufactoring), or produce Exotic Gases (used for a variety of purposes in research and chemistry). Deviating from the trend, once they have the technology to actually use their body waste for industrial/military purposes, they treat it as just as much a Strategic Resources as any other species.

Weapon Brown features schmoo, a delicious, tastes-like-whatever-you-want substance that turns out to be excreted from the tail of a sluglike creature known as The Garf.

Starslip - Cirbozoids have so many weird things going on in their bodies that they produce pretty much anything you could ask for as waste products. Mr. Jinx references it occasionally: his exoskeleton secretes ritalin, he has a "smelting cloaca" which deals with unneeded iron, and in the most recent arc, when he stopped eating to combat a sudden, unexpected, and highly problematic growth spurt, his body responded by making its own sustenance.

In The Ant Bully, what appears at first glance to be a G-rated version of beer is actually something excreted from the heiny of giant bugs.

Sword Art Online: Kirito and Lizbeth go after a crystal dragon (which is not Jesus) in order to obtain a rare metal ore to forge Kirito's new sword. Turns out the dragon eats crystals, so the ore is simply a...recycled by-product...of its digestive processes. Lizbeth reacts accordingly.

A humble cave rich in nitrogen compounds accumulated from bat guano takes center stage in Dr. STONE. Guano is a rich source of saltpeter, a vital ingredient in the production of black powder. Liquid from the cave is also a source of nitric acid, which when combined with alcohol can be used to reverse the petrification that has affected every human on Earth. Whoever controls the cave controls the means to recruit manpower and produce gunpowder, and with these advantages the means to rule the Stone World.

In the StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void expansion, one of the bonus objectives in the Rak'shir campaign is that there are creatures that are somehow imbued with solarite, a material desired by the Protoss to power the Spear of Adun. On completion of the objective, it is explained that the solarite are the result of the digestive systems of said creatures in the planet. From the tone of his reply, Artanis is disgusted by the revelation.

In Bridge of Birds, Li Kao cons Miser Shen into believing that he owns a goat that poops gold coins (the gold coins are actually fake ones hidden in fish heads and mangoes fed to the goat) so that Shen will spend all night trying to get as much gold out of it as he can, leaving Li Kao free to rob his residence.

Parodied in Cattivik, when a Russian scientist tries to prove that gold can be naturally produced by poop thanks to a tiny intestinal germ carrying a gold fragment called "Bacyllococcus Aureus". The following experiment succeeded, but only because he accidentally sucked Cattivik's supply of gold dust along with the sewage.
