They most certainly do not. Timebanks are unequivocably money. The only difference between them and other forms of money is the basis for the money. Money might be based on precious metals, or might be based on faith in the economy, or it might, as in the case of a time bank, be based on labor. But it is still money.

It is just money with very real weaknesses.

Sort of, except that reality is created by the collective subjective.
No it is not, reality remains reality regardless of what you think of it. At a certain atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, regardless of what you want it to do.
