The money itself? Sure. But that’s not what people talk about when they talk about money, they are usually referring to what the money represents, i.e. resources, which were all burnt up and used to create that fire work when they could have gone to something else.

i.e. yeah, if we spent half our GDP on fireworks every year, we would still have the same amount of money on paper but absolutely everything else would cost far more.
