Well, according to the old Glimmer Grimoire card, it is a programmable matter. If it is programmable, you can turn it into anything, theoretically.
So, do people eat Glimmer? Is that god roll weapon you have made of Glimmer? Can I make a Gjallarhorn out of Glimmer? Could I make silver out of Glimmer? If we can program it, then we should be able to turn it into everything we need.
When you are recovering anything from the collections, it uses a certain amount of Glimmer, along with weapon parts and (sometimes) legendary shards. So, is the Glimmer being transmuted there at that moment? Because, yes, Glimmer is a coin, but who we would be paying at the collections tab? I really want my Gjallarhorn back
