Monopoly Money

Were you the player who always bought Boardwalk and Park Place? Although this Monopoly money theory was thought to be a rumor, it is actually true. Parker Brothers reports that it is rolling in the fictional pink, blue, and yellow dough, printing around $30 billion each year. The U.S. government generally only prints money to replace old, or worn-out bills, which results in the annual printing of roughly $974 million, according to estimates published on CNBC's website.

Monopoly is therefore not only out-printing the U.S., the cash-cow is printing over 30 times what the U.S. is.
