An advance "sci-fi" civ with access to fusion technology that could "make" elements would still need 1 critical thing.

Energy

The most dense form of energy (compact and yet unstable = high energy potential) is metalic hydrogen.

It currently exists deep in jupiters core.

This is the "oil" and fossil fuels of an advanced civilization.
Would be needed to power fusion reactors.

Its what powers the sun.

However, currency is based on stability and things that make a good store of value.
