Italian word

moneta

coin, currency

Looks like

money

a general term for currency/cash

⚠️ The trap

'Moneta' means a single coin or currency in an abstract sense. For 'I need money', say 'Ho bisogno di soldi', not 'di moneta'.

To say "a general term for currency/cash" in Italian:

soldi / denaro (for money in general)

"moneta" in English means:

coin, currency

Example

"Ho trovato una moneta per terra."

"I found a coin on the ground."
