The only "real" money I have is made of pure gold or pure silver. The rest is just a "concept". It has value as long as the country backing it has value. And even then, that value changes as the quantity of money changes or the confidence in the country changes. Then there are things that survive solely on faith - things like tulip bulbs and digital "money" (e.g. bitcoin).
