<p>Sick of handling all the cash notes whenever you play Monopoly? After all, they aren&#8217;t real money and the texture of the notes just doesn&#8217;t feel as good as the real thing.</p>
<p>Well, good news because Hasbro has announced a new version of Monopoly called the <b>&#8220;Monopoly Here and Now Electronic Banking&#8221; edition</b>, which comes with debit cards and an electronic card reader for transferring money.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Monopoly was invented today it would look totally different so we have updated all of the property prices and locations,&#8221; said Helen Martin, marketing director at the British arm of Hasbro. &#8220;Also people don&#8217;t use cash anymore, it is all on plastic, so we have taken the money out&#8230; and we have replaced it with debit cards,&#8221; Martin told reporters.</p>
<p>Instead of the $200 you receive whenever you pass Go, the new edition credits your card with <b>two million pounds</b>. Sounds like a great way to get your kids started on counting big money!</p>
<p>For those that still prefers the cash notes, worry not. The traditional version will continue to be made. The Monopoly Here and Now Electronic Banking edition will cost around Â£24.99 (~US$46), compared to Â£12.99 (~US$24) for the traditional cash notes edition.</p>
<p>Notice the VISA logo on the reader pictured above? Your kids would be thrilled.</p>
