You’re looking for particular circumstances that mitigate or otherwise detrimentally affect the inherent value of certain goods, though your scenarios depend on those goods having inherent value in the first place.

Clothing has inherent value for people.

Containers have inherent value.

Shoes, any number of material goods have inherent value.

Currencies do not.

I don't think you understand what inherent means.

  In the context that we’re using the phrase and have even explicitly stated, “…to people”, these material goods have inherent value.
  
  Keep trying.

    Do you think I'm talking bout inherent value to dogs and cats?
    
    I'm going to assume you are trolling and kick myself for falling for it.

    No, that’s my point? Currencies do not have an inherent value to people, only societal, while material goods have inherent value to people while you’re pretending they don’t while you struggle against a definition.
    
    Struggle!
