Money is just another form of token. I'm not sure why you're making this distinction between 'money' and 'tokens'. They are the same thing.

Bitcoins and USD may both be tokens, but they are not the same token. The same is true of say WoW gold and ISK (EVE Onlines money). I can farm WoW gold all day, that does not turn into ISK unless someone is selling ISK.
