It means that money is earthly, so you use it on earth.
Praise is heavenly, so you give that to god :)
^In addition to this already very good answer, I would add that Jesus was reminding me that God doesn't want us to break the law. God is important of course. But while we live on earth we must also follow the laws of our own land. So paying taxes to Caesar is not wrong, because as the political leader he was owed that. But God, as our leader in a higher way, deserves his own "taxes" of our love and prayers.
