知人が５００万円分の一万円札のレプリカをいったい幾らで購入したかは定かではない。しかし、実際の１万円札１枚の印刷費用（製造原価）が２０円なので、５００万円分は紙と考えれば１万円の価値しかない。デザインや紙質にこだわればレプリカがむしろ高いとも限らない。そう考えるとお金はものではないと言えるのではないだろうか。

I don’t know how much a friend of mine paid for the replicas of five hundred of ten thousand yen notes. In fact, the actual cost of printing a real ten thousand yen note is 20 yen, so five million yen deserves only ten thousand yen on stensil-and- printing basis. If you hang up the quality of paper and design for replica notes to be better, they may be more expensive than the real notes. In this respect, you might say that money is regarded as more than a material.
