Necros are often used for gold finders because (argueable point), they are one of the safest classes to play in hell diff without good gear on. To gain the most gold find possible, a character often has to equip sub standard items.
A good necro player can kill effectively in low player count hell games even without equipment at all. Also, with his minions sheilding him, he is often easier to keep alive than a sorc. This matters alot in HC. Most of the gf necros I've seen have been in HC, and I'ce seen alot of gf sorcs in SC.
Also, it takes a slightly different type of player than the common masses of b.net to even bother with a gold find character, as it does does not have immediate gratification(as in mfing or cowing). The gf players are more the ones who will take the time to craft their own uber gear(which takes forever), and often are the type of player to not go the cookie-cutter route. Thus the gf necro.
Of course this is just my opinion, and not meant to offend anyone. I personally have never made a gf character, and I don't expect to.
EDIT: D'oh! Put mf necro where I meant to put gf necro.
Good point Brista, I forgot to mention one of the major advantages of the necro class: you have more time to pay attention to the details, like picking up gold, then other classes have; your minions will keep fighting and killing/sheilding even if you stop to pick up some gold.
