The money in game, aka Duke's Casino Tokens, are an actual item in your inventory that can be thrown away/stored by the player, they look like a golden casino token. If they're not on your person, they aren't usable nor counted towards the counter in the top right of the inventory.

These tokens can be smelted in a forge for 1 brass each. And a few people have made that mistake of smelting their money without realizing it.
