Money is made up, but it's definitely real. Magic is made up and fake. If it actually exists and does something, it's real. You can bring something from non-existence and make it real. It has no intrinsic value.

Money is an intersubjective reality, like nations, religions, and ghosts.

Definitely a fun philosophical and semantic thought experiment!
