Sure it does. Having enough to fund your nutrition and well being in general through the point that you are neither able to consume anything nutrituous and are not going to be (well or otherwise) is a good concept.
Now what this money might look like or made up of is a question of public perception and debate. Paper or plastic, with or without a face or a crown, its worth or face value and so on.
When it comes to face value - America is at present debating the introduction of a black woman's to replace a white man's. Face that is. Or a suitable graphic representation. The latter was a president of this republic some decades ago while the replacement is an anti slavery fighter.
Personally I am not sure whether currency is an ideal vehicle to communicate history lessons. After all it gets dirty, stolen, used for everything from buying milk to weapons and eventually destroyed. We have books and other media to teach our civilization of their history. Money should be primarily used as a reliable IOU for transfer of value. To that extent if the format was simply a non replicable blank with some indication of the issuing country and its monetary value it would suffice.
This whole debate about who we have and who should now replace it is fundamentally moronic.
Same goes for flags and other national propoganda related paraphernalia that in the larger scheme of things is frankly meaningless. It is simply an artistic interpretation of someone's idea of what the republic is or for what it stands etc. Eagles, stars, stripes, wheels, crowns, planets, asteroids, weapons, landscapes etc are really infantile as symbols to represent solidarity or feelings of nationlist pride IMHO.
