Morphology

moneys = money (semi-transparent) = money + s

Formally formed by pluralizing 'money', but the plural usage is atypical (specialized/legal/countable senses), so the meaning 'different types or forms of currency' is derivable but domain-specific.

Etymology

Moneys comes from money, which comes from the Latin word moneta meaning 'mint', the place where coins were made. So when people use moneys for different countries, think of coins made in many mints, or different kinds of currency.
