In grammar, when we say that 'money' is uncountable, we mean that we cannot say, "One money, Two money, etc." But 'coins' is countable. We can say "One cent, two cents, ten cents, fifty cents."

Let me add my 2 cents (sorry I couldn't resist)

Answer same as above. As far as thinking about coun and non-count noun, though two things have helped me when I explain it

often when there are different kinds of things in a group it's a non-count

money works here: coins, bills, gold pieces are all kinds of money. Fruit is the same thing

Now for thing
