I expect you are referring specifically to Representative money or Symbolic money, in which case, you are absolutely correct.I always assumed money was printed by governments, i didnt realize that it was a gift from the gods.
Certain resources, which can also be used as money, certainly seem to be "given from the gods." Many of these resources are limited. Re-using resources reduces the stress of limited availability. Thus, Puppy is green -- at least in certain ways. (One often has to use qualifiers and weasel words since so many answers seem to be predicated on assumptions within the question.)
