“He would also own Monopoly.”

Good. Maybe he can “un-retire” the iron.

Some of the charm of the original is lost when you replace the Flat Iron and the Show with a Penguin and a Prius. Monopoly, with its Community Chest, two digit rents and 10% Income Tax is a product of its time. Rich Uncle Pennybags (his REAL name, NOT "Mr. Monopoly") should NOT be updated to look like Musk or Bezos. The "Bringing Up Father" comic strip ran into the 2000s with Jiggs STILL wearing a top hat and spats. Some things become iconic and should be left alone. The 1930s style flat iron and shoe are two of them.

Sets of Monopoly tokens are available for sale on Amazon for $10-$12, including a set that contains the Battleship, Boot, Cannon, Car, Iron, Scotty Dog, Top Hat, and the Wheelbarrow.

The iron? Did they get rid of that? I remember they ditched the cannon and the battleship, was it some kind of “woke” thing again?
