I didn't say a plural form doesn't necessarily exist. I said they're words that are often used wrongly in the plural.
Moneys is used specifically when it denotes different sources of income. Similar to fruits meaning a variety of different kinds of fruit, but the ordinary plural of fruit is fruit, and fishes denoting a variety of different kinds of fish, but the ordinary plural of fish is fish.
"How much moneys does this cost "is obviously as wrong as "how much fruits / fishes did you buy".
Same with codes, you can talk about "nuclear codes" but not "morse codes" or "source codes".
