As a child, we use to play Monopoly a great deal growing up in the early 1970's. I still love to play Monopoly even now as an adult. This game helped taught me about the American currency or money system. The game is educational, informative and a great deal of fun to play. The game also requires, thinking, strategy and concentration to play. You can probably purchase this game today for around 25 to 30 bucks and depending on where you shopping for it.
