    Literally any fiat currency, or you could even barter with it if somebody wanted it. It has tangible value because it has a physical demand.

    you don’t seem to know this, so i’m going to explain it to you: turquoise was the currency of indigenous people in the northeast of the so-called united states. it’s not money now. what backed turquoise? nothing. the point was its ubiquity.
