Sometimes the gold / silver just flat out doesn't get to you until the next day. I spent an entire day waiting on my gold so that I could purchase an armor token. I didn't get it so I went to bed. Woke up in the morning and was greeted with my cubi gold, and then voted for some more, which I got immediately :p
Just give it time. If you don't get it immediately, or in a couple hours, you'll have it by the next day.
