Monopoly cashes out
Source: Engadget
My husband used to work for Parker Brothers and let me tell you, Monopoly was - is - its sacred cow. So you know times have changed when the guardians of Mr. Moneybags relent and go with electronic banking. Parker Brothers is phasing out the cash-based version's funmoney. Instead of those multicolored bills you'll find VISA-sponsored debit cards and a calculator that keeps a running tab on your riches, or lack thereof. Might as well get kids hooked on debit and VISA cards early. What could be next? Bluetooth tech that knows when your piece passes 'Go' and automatically credits you $200?
