      Just because something is abstract doesn’t mean that it is fictional. Money is made up and essentially an arbitrary placeholder for the general concept of value, but money isn’t a required part of an economic system. Economic interactions would occur whether or not a particular society has money (e.g. a pure barter system is still an economy).
