Someone just gifted me one. It's placed in plain water. Does it need earth?

There are several different species of plant called a "money plant". Others have mentioned lunaria, but young euchalyptus are also sold as money plant or silvery dollar plant. Lysimachia is also called that or moneywort.
The first is a biennial, the second is asubtropical tree and the third is a winter-hardy ground cover.

Money Plant AKA Lunaria is an annual, meaning it grows and produces seeds then dies in one season.
It should be planted in soil as it will get quite tall could quite likely topple over in a vase of water. When the seeds ( pieces of money) are brown, cut them, rub the outer cover off and enjoy as a dried plant. Scatter the seeds on the ground or in a pot and they will grow next year.

First, this is not a houseplant. Second, it is not an annual, but a biennial (Lunaria biennis).
If it has no flowers this year, it is in its first year. Plant it outdoors. It will go dormant over the winter, grow again in spring and produce its characteristic seed pods. Let it go to seed and next year you will have more young plants.
If it is flowering now, its life is about over. Enjoy the seeds in dried arrangements, or save them to plant next spring.

Add as much spare change as you have to a little box next to it every day.
Thanks to the money plant, next time you count it, there will be a lot in there.
