I ain't got no money.
I don't have any money. ⛔💰
don't use ain't, it's beyond regular speech and beyond slang... it's really seen as low class and unintelligent sounding. But if you want to understand it (say if you're watching HBO's "the Wire,") then you can think of it as a combination of:
am not (I ain't happy)
is not (it ain't good quality)
has not (he ain't cooked dinner yet)
😊 I'm not being purist in telling you not to use it by the way, most people wont use it, no matter how casual the situation.

ain't is a contraction of are not and don't is a contraction of do not. Both sentences above convey the same meaning but the one with ain't in it would be considered poor English and uneducated speach. A more common usage of ain't for your second sentence would be "I ain't got no money." This would still be considered uneducated.

Ain't is still very common in the southern US where stigmas on it's use are not so harsh. Many books and films use it to develop a character. Being from the south myself it still escapes my lips occasionally but usually only with close friends and family. All contractions were at one time considered low speach and were discouraged. English is still a living language and there are many fine words that have fallen out of common use. Ain't ain't one of them yet.
