Royal Mint releases colourful coin featuring familiar symbols from the beloved board game
A commemorative 50p coin celebrating 90 years of Monopoly is being launched by the Royal Mint.
The colourful coin features game tokens and property cards, as well as the unmistakable Mr Monopoly (or Milburn Pennybags) holding bags of cash. The ‘GO’ sign will reveal the M money symbol when the coin is tilted.
The Mint said it was the first board game to be honoured on a piece of UK currency.
It is being released to celebrate nearly a century of “mischief and mayhem” of the property trading game, which has been sold more than 275m times globally and translated into 47 languages.
