Which one is better "money doesn't smell" or "money has no smell" or "money doesn't stink" ? Can I also use "for them" , eg. "Money has no smell for them " ? Thanks

This was a Latin phrase originally, (pecunia non olet) so all the English versions are translations of that and there isn't a standard English phrase. The phrase means that the value of money is not affected by where it came from, so I guess you could use "for them" - it would imply, for example, that they didn't care that the money came from the sale of drugs or from other sources that others might criticise.
