Monopoly loses paper money - Visa introduced!

[motz]

The world famous board-game, Monopoly, seems to be looking to the future to increase its sales. The game no longer features bank notes as a whole new system has been put in place. Instead of the paper money we all previously knew, a new electronic card from Visa, similar to a debit card, has been put in its place. The player inserts their card into a card reader/writer to play. The new version of the board game also includes updated property prices (the most expensive being Kensington Palace Gardens which is priced at £4 million). The game has also reached Germany and France but there is no news on a US version.

A screenshot of the game is available in the comments. :D

That's actually pretty cool. I used to be a mean Monopoly player. I wish an online system was put into place allowing you to play for REAL money.

Looks like they're helping support the move away from a cash based society starting with the children,for such a staple of a board game this is a very interesting development!
