That sort of thing is why the "Gold Piece", "Silver Piece", etc. gear items that ShadowChemosh mentioned were added to the packs.
In the core HL package, your money is tracked as a total and there's no way to say "X of it is here and Y of it is there", other than the method Togainu mentioned (purchase a custom valuable item, name it "Gold in Castle" or whatever, and leave it contained in a custom location named "Castle").
My players often did things like "sew 6 gp into the hem of my cloak" and so on.. so I needed a mechanism like the Gold Piece and Silver Piece gear items to track that. The gear items also helped to easily transfer X gp from character A to character B in the same portfolio.
