{synonym}

A useless piece of paper (or <digital currency>[digital version] of it) that you can pay <taxes> with :)

As opposed to:
* 2020 <cryptocurrencies>, while <governments> still don't accept them for taxes, as well as other <assets> that are also not accepted for taxes (i.e. most assets)
* physical currencies that have intrinsic material value, e.g. <gold> coins
