    Of course you can.

    Firstly and foremost, it's impossible for gil to be worthless in the context of the game, since worth is defined in gil. Money has no intrinsic value (unless you want to count the materials it is made from); the value of other things are defined in terms of money.

    Again; if your fun times are more valuable than the gil you lost, that's good for you, but it doesn't change the inextricable loss of the gil. When you say "you view it as being worthless", that is what you mean. You value the fun as being worth more than the gil (and, because of the prior sentence, what is meant by that is not "my fun is worth more than 2 gil", but "my fun is worth more than whatever I could have bought or done with the 2 gil I don't have now". It might be the case that gil is relatively worthless to you, but that doesn't mean that gil is worthless, and thus that you didn't lose that gil.
