Sure, you can argue that a house, a hamburger, and a car have no intrinsic value per se, but only in relation to humans and/or because we give them value.

But again, with that you're departing from the modern economic notion of intrinsic value in discussions of money.



Do you mean the numismatic notion of intrinsic value? Because that is a very different thing from saying economic intrinsic value. I’m not departing at all on the economic part, I am directly talking to that notion.


What is the actual value of gold? (it's intrinsic value) How is that determined?
