I once played with my sister and had an entire corner to where she had to pay up. She won't even utter the word Monopoly towards me again.

The economy is built on trust. You trust a store to accept your money, rather than the Monopoly money. The fact of the matter is, is that both the real dollar and the monopoly dollar are intrinsically worthless.

Yes. it is true that the dollar is worthless at the moment, but it used to be that dollars used to represent actual gold, and thus was worth something.

Well mentioned! The banks still have a part of that gold in a safe somewhere, but are now no longer required by law to match the actual money with the gold. Money that is ''digitally'' stored, say on an online bank account, is pretty much the same now a days. Banks have a so called ''reserve requirement'' in cash, but most of the money that is stored in online bankaccounts doesn't excist in real-life. It's 80% debt.

My cousin once accused her sister of cheating and got physical with her because of it. Now the sister has a scar on her elbow and we've never played the game since.

Not *your* belief that it has value, but your confidence that OTHERS will believe it has value when you want to use it.
