Genie: I made you look like a prince on the outside, but I didn't change anything on the inside. Prince Ali got you to the door, but Aladdin has to open it.
Aladdin: I thought a princess could go anywhere.
Jasmine: Not this princess.
Jasmine: You cannot break into a palace, like you own the place.
Aladdin: If you don't have anything, you have to act like you own everything.
Aladdin: Do you trust me?
Jafar: I can make you rich... rich enough to impress a princess.
Aladdin: What do I have to do?
Jafar: There's a cave of wonders. Bring me a lamp.
Answer: Despite being a princess, Jasmine likely did not have access to money. Royals are known to never carry cash in their possession. Everything in Jasmine's life is controlled, and whatever she needs or wants is provided. She is young, naïve, and has been so pampered and sheltered from the real world that she'd probably never consider how currency works.
