Money talks; or at least, a shaken container of coins such as a Piggy Bank makes a distinctive jingling sound. This can show that money is there without seeing it; from checking one's pocket for a small amount of money to buy groceries, to shaking a sack of gold, to flaunt the proceeds of a large robbery. Charity collectors sometimes shake their buckets or collecting tins, to attract people's attention; some children enjoy hearing the "plink" of a coin landing among many others.

When stage magicians want the audience to believe that coins have dropped into a container, the coins must be heard to do so, even if they are not seen. This can overlap with So Much for Stealth, if a thief draws attention to themselves with their jingling money.
Compare Hear Me the Money, where a character discerns the amount or authenticity of money by listening to noise made by flicking a wad of notes, or coins dropping. This trope is about when the presence of money is indicated by the sound of jingling coins.

Pinocchio: Honest John drops his money bag on the table, with a little tinkle. The coachman looks disapproving, and then drops his own much bigger money bag with a crash.

In Robin Hood (1973), The Sheriff of Nottingham loves to shake the money inside his purse and hear it jingle. He's also made aware that the blacksmith is hiding spare coins in his leg cast by their jingling, so he "helps" him put his foot up and get the remaining coins.
