Monopoly Says Hello To Plastic

Parker Bros has decided to update that old boardgame workhorse, Monopoly, using a little tech voodoo and an agreement with Visa, to do away with the brightly colored money and replace it with plastic starting sometime this fall.

Apparently the change is a result of surveys that show that most adults no longer carry cash and simply use plastic for most transactions. The cost of the new money method will set you back around $30 US versus the old style which use to cost around $15.
