Is the phrase 'count money' correct?
I was taught 'money' is the uncountable noun. Recently I found an English lesson when one has written the following sentence to complete with the present continuous form of the verb:
'They ......... (count) money I think.'.
How can it be correct? Is it any exception to the rule?
'They ......... (count) money I think.'.
How can it be correct? Is it any exception to the rule?

lukandI was taught 'money' is the uncountable noun.Hi, I, too, was taught the same thing as you were. The word "money" is an uncountable noun, and more specifically an abstract uncountable noun, I think, as we can't really percieve 'money' with our senses. Coins or notescan be referred to as countable noun.
