Please tell me the sentence is true or not.

"I didn't have no money."

I think it is strange.

Thank you very much.

Double negatives, which refers to the words "not" and "no" in this sentence, are not accepted as Standard English, although many dialects of English do use them.

Thank you~~~

double negatives makes it positive. so the sentence gives the meaning that you did have some money.

Don't use double negative sentences unless you want your readers to be baffled.
