Dime-a-Dozen

This money-operated Idea Box makes them for a Dime-a-Dozen. Money greases the wheels, which generates ideas, which generate money*. Full circle! As far as hiding spots go, it would be tough to beat this one. A key to the box’s padlock is hidden in the said box and once retrieved, the padlock is used on hidden magnets on the book’s binding, acting as a handle to the secret drawer. Now, you don’t HAVE to use the padlock to open the drawer, but doing so turns this sucker up to 11. Plus, it’s a light!
