What makes this money fake you’d ask? Probably because you cannot buy lettuce for it.
…But you absolutely can buy lettuce with it. You just have to find someone that will accept that particular currency. Are you seriously going to argue that Canadian currency isn’t real money just because I can’t buy produce in the US at most stores using Canadian loonies or toonies? And you can use American currency very, very easily to buy illegal stuff; pretty much every in-person drug dealer in the US accepts folding cash. (They just don’t take credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, etc. because that’s easily traced.)
Edit: a physical cat is not an abstraction. A physical, individual cat is the thing itself. The abstraction is the concept of “cat”; when you think “cat” as a concept, you aren’t thinking about a specific, individual animal, but of a concept that defines ‘catness’; it probably has fur, whisker, pointy ears, a tail, etc., even though an individual cat may not have any of these things.

Well, I can find a nerd who would sell me some lettuce for Nintendo Switch. Does it make Nintendo Switch a currency? Nope. With Canadian dimes I guess I can go to any shop in Canada and buy it, which makes it a valid currency in Canada. What you are right about, is that almost every currency is regional.

Oh thanks, if they allow me to the US I’d probably make use of this information.

Fuck Kant. As you mentioned, cat is definited through catness, but catness is defined through cats, hence a cat abstracts all cats. Unless you think of all other cats, your physical cat is a cloud of atoms
