money, monies
Money is money, a collective noun or mass word that rarely appears in plural form. When a plural is needed, as in referring to the currencies of different countries, the preferred spelling is moneys: "The moneys of Great Britain, France, and Germany have a different base." In some financial reports and legal papers, the plural monies appears, but this form is not generally approved.
