Dear Shareholder,

August 15, 2005

We hope that you find the semiannual report for the Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund informative and useful. As a JennisonDryden Mutual Fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

We believe it is wise to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds that cover all the basic asset classes and is reflective of your personal investor profile and tolerance for risk.

JennisonDryden Mutual Funds give you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of three leading asset managers. They are recognized and respected in the institutional market and by discerning investors for excellence in their respective strategies. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC or Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA). Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) advises the JennisonDryden fixed income and money market funds. Jennison Associates, QMA, and PIM are registered investment advisers and Prudential Financial companies.

Thank you for choosing JennisonDryden Mutual Funds.

Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden or Strategic Partners Funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

4 Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund		Beginning Account Value January 1, 2005		Ending Account Value June 30, 2005		Annualized Expense Ratio Based on the Six-Month Period		Expenses Paid During the Six- Month Period*
Class A	Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,005.70	1.17	%	$	5.82
	Hypothetical	$	1,000.00	$	1,018.99	1.17	%	$	5.86

* Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 181 days in the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 (to reflect the six-month period).

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to attain the highest level of current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital. The Fund will invest in short-term tax-exempt debt securities of state and local governments. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state, industry or region.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services.

The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .50 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $750 million, .425 of 1% of the next $750 million of average daily net assets and .375 of 1% of average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion.

Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund 19

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Tax-Free Money Fund, Inc. oversees the management of the Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund (the “Fund”), and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, met on May 24, 2005 and June 23, 2005 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2006, after concluding that renewal of the agreements is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Before meeting to approve renewal of the agreements, the Board met and authorized the redemption of all shares of the Fund, on the recommendation of PI, in preparation for discontinuance by Pruco Securities Inc. (“Pruco”) of the Fund in its cash sweep program for Pruco Command brokerage accounts and a corresponding bulk redemption of its sweep assets from the Fund, which was anticipated to occur during the third quarter of 2005. Consequently, the Board’s approval of the agreements was intended to be interim in nature. Pruco has since determined that it will not discontinue use of the Fund in its cash sweep program for Pruco Command brokerage accounts, and as a result, PI intends to propose and recommend to the Board at a meeting in September 2005 that the Board rescind its determination to redeem all outstanding shares of common stock of the Fund and approve the continuance of the agreements through July 31, 2006.

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group was objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over one-year, three-year and five-year time periods ending December 31, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations,

Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

the Directors did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Director attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on May 24, 2005 and June 23, 2005.

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and PIM, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

Several of the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and PIM. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund accounting, recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PIM, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and PIM’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to

Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com

both PI and PIM. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and PIM. The Board noted that PIM is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Performance of Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund had achieved performance that was in the third quartile over one-year, three-year and five-year periods ending December 31 in relation to the group of comparable funds in a peer universe (the “Peer Universe”).

The funds included in the Peer Universe are objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., independent provider of investment company data.

Fees and Expenses

The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds provided by Lipper Inc.

The Fund’s management fee of 0.500% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. The Board acknowledged that the management fee was higher than the median management fees charged by other mutual funds included in the Lipper 15(c) Peer Group.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its

Dryden Tax-Free Money Fund

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.
