Here's a prize winning book about it, if you seek truth.

Ascent of Money. Ferguson, Niall.

Personally, I hate it when people talk about money as if it can think and make decisions.....money is nothing more than a possession. It is whatever we (as people) want it to be. Money is only worth what we make it.
To quote the NIN...."money is not one to choose."
We (as society) have made money the highest possession available.....we did that! If money could think then I'm sure it would value itself on par with the value of the paper it is printed on.... In all fairness, would it be wrong for a person to value money in the same regard....I would say no because in a way everyone already does value money differently....some save it, others spend it....
I try not to think about it too much.....sad really, that a piece of paper marked $5 is **** poor but yet the same one with different colours marked $1000 would have people killing each other over. We made it this way and now we live this way.
