You would say: Let's put the money in a kitty.
o
Let's set up a kitty. (signfica ir a la tienda, comprar la caja y establecer
un sistema de contabilidad sencilla)

Yes,this is a useful expression BUT

We usually have a "whip round" to collect money for charity or to buy a leaving present for a colleague or friend. For some reason, we would not normally use it to pay a restaurant bill, we use a "kitty" instead.
