Origen e historia

From Old French 'moneie', from Latin 'moneta' (mint, money), originally a title of the Roman goddess Juno, in whose temple coins were minted. 'Juno Moneta' meant 'Juno the Warner'. The word 'mint' (for making coins) also derives from 'moneta' — so 'money' and 'mint' are doublets.
