With everyone buying and losing houses, the fed distributing more and more “funny money” and the government giving lenders get-out-of-jail-free cards, Monopoly™ is more relevant then its ever been.

While analysts estimate that one Monopoly Dollar is worth about US$ 0.000231176, its educational value is worth many times that. More than a board game, playing Monopoly was probably my first experience managing money. It introduced me to banking and also put me on to what my friends call “the white man’s dope game”— real estate.

I still remember playing the game as a kid and how holding a wad of the colored bills made me fell like Pacman Jones in a strip club. ( If Pacman would’ve played more Monopoly when he was younger, he’d know to invest his money in property rather than “making it rain on dem hoes” )

If making it rain is your forte, make sure you check out the Reebok Reverse Jam Mid–Monopoly Money. They may not get you a lap dance but at least you’ll step in the spot looking like Rich Uncle Pennybags.
