I should also point out that money does not lie, but it may lay.

I think you meant ly.

On the contrary, lay is transitive, so unless someone is getting laid by money, the word is lie.

From that page:

Lay means "to set down" or "to put or place someone or something in a horizontal position." It is a transitive verb requiring a direct object that receives the action of the verb.

Lie means "to rest or recline" or "to be in a prostrate position." It is intransitive, and takes no object.
