You are quite correct, but in modern English, much and many are usually used in negative sentences, and in questions; 
 
Negative; "Is there much stolen money?" " No , there is  not  much  stolen money" 
Positive: "Is there much stolen money?" " Yes , there is  a lot of  stolen money" 
 
Negative; "Were there many apples?" " No , there were  not   many  apples" 
Positive; "Were there many apples?" " Yes , there were  a lot of  apples" 
 
Using many and much in positive sentences is not wrong, but it sounds a little unusual. 
 
Cheers :-)</description></item><item><title>Re: very?much?many?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/VeryMuchMany/bqbkq/post.htm#163918</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:45:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:163918</guid><dc:creator>Nanita</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/VeryMuchMany/bqbkq/post.htm#163918</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments43-163918.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>much &amp;gt; uncountable nouns "There is much robed money" many &amp;gt; countable nouns "There are many apples" very &amp;gt; is used before adjective "You are very bored" there is &amp;gt; singular &amp;gt; uncoutable nouns there are &amp;gt; plural &amp;gt; countable nouns I think that it is so. or is there more something?</description></item><item><title>Re: very?much?many?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/VeryMuchMany/bqbkq/post.htm#163310</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:45:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:163310</guid><dc:creator>nona the brit</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/VeryMuchMany/bqbkq/post.htm#163310</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments43-163310.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Briefly,
