Money v moneys (monies)

Hello,

What can be a reason for using "monies", not "money" (meaning informal English)?

Could you possibly give me a few examples?

Thank you!

Hi, What can be a reason for using "monies", not "money" (meaning informal English)? Could you possibly give me a few examples? Very generally speaking, the term 'monies' is old-fashioned, often very formal, and sometimes even pompous.
