Not really a lie, just an agreed upon standard of exchange. Money has no value in the same way that a gram has no meaning...its simply a measure of value (or mass) that we all agreed to use to allow society to function.

Things fall apart pretty damn fast when the guy that owns the gas station can't sell fuel to the farmer because the farmer only has corn to trade, and the fueler doesn't need corn right now.
