The Mad Magazine board game did, but good luck finding that one these days.
The one fun thing about that one is that there was a $1,329,063.00 bill that was completely and utterly worthless in play, and existed solely so the Banker could try and steal it from the Bank without being noticed by the other players. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

The Mad Magazine board game did, but good luck finding that one these days.eBay has a bunch. Complete and in fair condition around $20, which isn't too bad. If you're looking for mint condition, that would probably be more difficult to track down. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light...

If you're looking for mint condition, that would probably be more difficult to track down. I actually meant new, but also didn't think there'd be all that many people selling them used anywhere anyway. I remember it being kind of obscure even when I got a copy of it. Then again, when I found my copy, it was already like 10+ years old. And it's not like I was going to game stores or looking in the board game aisle in department stores when I was 2 years old. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Millennium Blades uses a ton of money; especially since you're supposed to get the cash into small bundles to use instead of just single bills.

Axis & Allies uses currency in the form of Industrial Production Certificates (IPCs) for purchasing new units. While the game comes with some fairly bland looking paper currency in 1, 5 and 10 unit denominations, there's apparently a thriving aftermarket for new and improved currency and coinage.

Yea... You're probably not going to find a huge market for that. At best you buy generic bills that are utilized in a bunch of games but most people just don't play board games enough for it to matter.

(a much simpler way to start the game is to just give everyone 3 500s.) for a game like Masterpiece where you have $1M bills, probably you can just scale things down (divide by 10,000 or something). --- ...

I have Iron Clays which are like poker chips. but made for board games.ohh i should have read the whole topic. i just use cheap poker chips and say red = 1 etc. but it would be nicer to have chips where it's written on them. i use mine for train games and power grid, and occassionally as random replacements for other components that are crappy/lost. theyre also useful for prototyping if youre into that --- http://boomeressentials.com/.well-known/ https://essentialboomer.guide/robots.txt #NotAllGamers #YesAllLandlords ...
