Each payday she would open her wall to put in the budget for the next week and remove any money leftover from that week. The left over coins went in to jug and the bills were stuck into a book taken at random from her bookshelf. She got old and money got tight and she no longer had money to hide. Then she and was ready to retire and needed to downsize. Since my father owned an auction house I went to help her pack up the items she wanted to sell. She sorted the bookcase into the keep and sell piles and I went to box up the books to be sold. The first book I picked up spilled money on the flood. Long story short she had forgotten about the dollars she kept hiding away and we had to page through every book she owned in case it contained a stash. In the end she had a windfall of several thousand dollars.

I used to get a lot of used books and then trade them in for more when I was done reading them. I figured my little tidbit might just seem a bit magical to the next reader.
