The story

From New Latin Juno Moneta, varient of Classical Latin Iūnō Monēta, from Iuno (‘Juno’), queen of the Roman gods equated with the Greek Hera, and Moneta, of uncertain etymology.uncertain The source flags this step as uncertain. The name has been popularly derived from monēre (‘to advise or warn’) since antiquity with reference to various events in Roman legend and history, but modern archeology seems to show the worship of a goddess Moneta elsewhere in Italy prior to her introduction to Rome (cf. evocatio) in 344 BC. The connection to coinage and money derived from her temple's use to house the state mint until a fire around AD 84.
