The most common way to say I have no ready money in English is to say
I have no cash.
Ready money usually means a very large amount in the bank as opposed to money invested in things.

Can you change a $100 bill? or Do you have change for a $100 bill?
This is American English. British English used notes instead of bills

Do you need the term in Spanish? Chileno provided you with one term. There are others.
