Don't forget about your vault! If you don't have enough space to keep your money safe,  you won't be able to accumulate more than a certain quantity (you will start with a 1,000 limit). You can tap directly on the vault or on the stats button (upper-right corner icons), and there you will see the price and requirements to expand its capacity. 
 
 
 
Please, check this old FAQ to learn how to check the requirements.
 

Every player can expand the vault
without spending real money. If you still can't upgrade it, please
re-read the pending requirements!
