One of the plural?

One of the happinesses, one of the moneys, one of the joys , etc

Should we use plural forms in the phrase, " one of the -" all the time or it depends on nouns and how we use them?

Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Anonymous Should we use plural forms in the phrase, " one of the -" all the time Yes, but the noun that follows has to be countable. 'money' can't be used as a countable noun, so that one won't work in the way that you have used it. CJ

Thank you so much, so you mean 'one of the moneys' cannot be used or it should be 'one of the money'?

Anonymous ......, so you mean 'one of the moneys' cannot be used or it should be 'one of the money'?
"moneys" or "monies" can be used, although it is not common. It can have the meaning of 'payments' or 'currencies'.
'The money/monies paid from July on will be refunded.'
