Wow! Monopoly

I was pleased to get a World of Warcraft Monopoly set for Christmas. Thank you.

But this makes my gripe over the currency in the Alan Turing set even more so. In that set, instead of £ (pounds) for currency, they use a generic Monopoly Money M currency.

Given that they are happy to use an appropriate currency for World of Warcraft (i.e. Gold), why not use pounds for the Alan Turing set????

    Perhaps they should have used pounds, shillings and pence (and scaled all rents etc accordingly to 1940s/50s levels). Would have made a classic game just that little bit more challenging (especially for the under 40s).
