Every social construct is fiction. It's our participation in social fictions that allow us to get along.
This includes believing that money has value. It's not real, but it is useful.
*social. Some form of money would exist even in a primitive society without governments and their laws. It's the good old "the shoemaker needs bread but the baker already has enough shoes".
