Monopoly set being released with real money

Not in France, anyway.

As part of the 80th anniversary of Monopoly’s first appearance in France, Hasbro is issuing a handful of special sets in that country with real euros in place of the colorful paper it usually offers.

Of the 80 special sets, 69 will have five 10-euro notes and five 20-euro notes, another 10 will come with five 20-euro, two 50-euro and one 100-euro bills, and one set will have a complete bank drawer of real cash.

– In 2008, more than 3,000 people played the game at the same time, a record.

And not one of them overturned the board in disgust.
