  • When I was a kid, I was worthlessly incompetent. But HONESTLY, Monopoly money is so much NICER looking than our normal GREEN bills. I mean, look at all the other currency on the planet? Every country has multi-colored, fancy, picture-laden bills… and don’t even get me started on the coinage! All we have is green, green, green…

    Although, I must admit, when we switch to colorful money, all American families will never have to purchase St. Patrick’s Day confetti, or wallpaper, or general paper products EVER again! And those with amazing paper-maché powers could even fashion piñatas out of the discontinued currency! Maybe that is why we still have green money… it’s a conspiracy of dastardly proportions between the U.S. Mint and the St. Patrick’s Day decoration manufacturers! CONSPIRACY! I TELL YOU!
