Default Money / People

Definitions:
1. People: Human beings
2. Money: Coins and paper notes

How come when I use it in context 'money' is singular when it means 'coins'? 'People' is plural? Why isn't 'money' plural as well?

1. There are some people over there. (How come people can use 'are' and money can't? I know money is uncountable, but it means 'coins' ?)
2. There is some money over there.
