  Nope he can’t. That was a plot point in an early episode: Meowth focused so much on learning the human language that he can’t learn other attacks like payday, and therefore they can’t just use it to create money.

    Anticapitalist Meowth is to Pokémon what Puffins are to birds.

    A children’s cartoon from the late '90s paid more attention to internal consistency and plot than most major motion pictures I’ve seen in the last 10 years

    I love the implication that pokémon are intelligent creatures that could learn to speak if we trained them for that, but most people would rather use them in casual animal fights for money and prestige.

    The Pokédex also heavily implies that Meowths are using coins that they find and collect, not generating money out of thin air (though I don’t know if the anime follows the same rules).
