Money isn't real. It's something imaginary we agree on.

I told my child this (about 7 yo at the time, too young probably). He said "how is it imaginary if it's green paper?"

Honestly that's the best follow up.

It is green paper. It's just that it's only something other than that if we agree on it's value.
