monies
- 1Plural of money.
The treasurer must account for all monies received during the year.
Public monies were allocated to repair the aging bridge.
Note
A plural for a word that is usually uncountable. Money normally takes no plural, so monies appears when separate sums or funds are meant. Its home is the language of statutes and budgets. The National Debt Act 1722 speaks of sufficient monies being raised, and EPA Funds Available for Forestry Projects (2004) of monies available under Section 319. In ordinary conversation, plain money is the natural choice.
- 2Plural of mony.
Note
An obsolete spelling stands behind the same letters here. Mony was once a form of money, and its plural is also spelled monies, so on the page the two cannot be told apart. Only the singular behind them differs. Because mony has fallen out of use, this reading belongs to old writing. For the plural as it is used today, see the plural of money.
