Mene Plays Monopoly!
Ms. Goldfashioned and I sat down for a friendly (overly intense competitive) game of monopoly. Or as we call it, MENEopoly!
The GLD (Gold Loving Dog) also joined the fun:
Ms. Goldfashioned began distributing the cash...
"WHAT IS THIS BS?!" I exclaimed:
I instantly seized the opportunity to do a comparison between fiat and sound money. What's the difference between this 10 billion dollar Zimbabwe note and monopoly money?
What about this $20 U.S. bill and monopoly money?
Lastly, what about this pure 24 karat gold die from Mene and monopoly money? Weighing in at just over 15 grams or half an ounce:
Ms. Goldfashioned and I picked our game pieces, and instead of the regulars...
I opted for the gold 10 gram Goldmoney cube!
Although much smaller than traditional die, this pure 24k gold Mene one packs a huge wealth preserving punch:
After several go-arounds, we learned that monopoly has some interesting cards. For example this one:
Bank error in MY favor?! The guy's facial expression shows it all, and he even seems reluctant to take the fiat.
You can also earn money from selling stock:
And Mene actually just went public on the TSX! You can find it under the symbol MENE
Ms. Goldfashioned ended up winning by collecting the most fiat, but instantly declared that she would buy gold and silver (and of course Mene) in order to preserve her newly acquired wealth :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I missed this post, It sure tells a good story about the value of fiat, It works until it don't! I remember how great it felt as a kid to own the whole bord!
One of the greatest games of all times, not only because it is enjoyable but because of the real life economic concepts it can teach players.
That's for sure!
