My guess is that if someone is boasting about something, others would call them out by saying to put money on it, to back up their words. Kind of like swearing an oath?
Here is what Google says: “It is believed that this idiom was popular in the United States in the 1930s and in Great Britain after WWII when the British government wanted to get people to invest in the National Savings Bank and therefore used this idiom as a slogan. Thus it is used to urge less talk and more action.”
I think it means to not just say something, but live what you speak. Don’t speak of caring about people, act it out. Jesus said we must not just listen to what he said, we must follow his example to have compassion and help.

If I believe in something, then my actions and how I designate my resources will line up with what I say.
