Money trees aren’t the type to drop old leaves for new growth. I have two and in my experience, they’ve yellowed the way yours is from under watering and spider mites. Check under the leaflets and also the middle of the leaf where all the leaflets meet. Look for small bugs or webbing. If that all looks good then think about your watering
