Additionally, I'd be happy to answer one of the questions you wrote to Hasbro that they didn't respond to. It is believed that Charles Darrow misspelled Marven Gardens when he was making his modifications to the game in 1933. As Darrow was not an Atlantic City resident, it makes sense that he would have spelled it Marvin instead of Marven (Marven Gardens is a small community south of Atlantic City rather than a street). Monopoly probably does print more money than the government now that they have versions where you get $2MM for passing GO. (Each of those sets with paper money would come with about $150MM in the bank) Kevin Tostado Producer/Director of "Under the Boardwalk" <a title="http://MonopolyDocumentary.com" href="http://www.MonopolyDocumentary.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://MonopolyDocumentary.com</a> <a title="http://Twitter.com/MonopolyDoc" href="http://Twitter.com/MonopolyDoc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Twitter.com/MonopolyDoc</a> Hello Write The Company,
