And the second and third sentence (emphasis mine):

> Fiat money does not have intrinsic value and does not have use value (inherent utility, such as a cow or beaver pelt might have). It has value only because a government maintains its value, or because parties engaging in exchange agree on its value.

Is there a sentence in this Wikipedia article you can point to that implies that only a government can create a fiat currency?
