The old biscuit tin
Rattle it and you'd swear it was full of Custard Creams. Open it and there's a rolled-up twenty and three buttons.

It's never made a cup of tea in its life, but it's held your holiday money for years.

Inside a book on the shelf
Feels very clever, right up until the book goes to the charity shop with the cash still in it.
