Wizarding money is kept in a bank, as is Muggle money. The wizarding bank in England is Gringotts which is run by Goblins. These Goblins are very tough creatures who adhere to giving the money the utmost of protection. They put spells and enchantments in the vaults to stop other people gaining access to someone else's money. Gringotts is located in Diagon Alley in London, and Muggle money may be exchanged here. It goes back into circulation in the Muggle world however we do not no how they do this.
