I'm with crooked tail on this one. Although I do see it used at times in replacement of 'funds'. I.e. The funds/monies have arrived

In a rare sensible post, I would guess that it might refer to multiple transactions? I could be wronger than flared trousers though.

Moneys or monies as I've seen too is a nonsense term that retard's use to mean larger sums of money, or less annoyingly different amounts of money held in different places.

When I worked in banking people who used it were tarred with the same brush as type of person who like to over/miss use 'literally' and 'obviously', start a sentence with 'no offence but..' before saying something offensive and promises to give it 110%.

‘Properties’ and also only considering the word ‘property’ to mean bricks and mortar property, used to be just as bad 10 years ago, but we lost the fight on that one I think.
