“Hey,, money can sometimes be countable too...it's when we refer to "sum of money" esp. one that has a special origin like:"State education monies".

No. "Monies" is not a countable noun. "Monies' is the plural of 'money'.

"Money" is an uncountable noun because of the rule that "we do not use a/an with uncountable nouns"

Eg. we do not say:

an oxygen

a sand

a gravel

similarly, we dont say "a money"

we count money in dollars, rupees, euros etc.. all these are countable nouns..

but money is an uncountable noun.
