OK this had better be a joke

A few weeks ago I was pointing out that you can print your own Monopoly money.

Turns out that the folks at Parker Brothers are keeping one step ahead of us.

Parker Brothers is phasing out the cash-based version's funmoney and replacing it with an "Electronic Banking" flavor that could leave Mr. Moneybags turning his pockets inside out as his stash is replaced by a magnetic strip. New kits are completely devoid of the famous multi-colored bills; instead, you'll find phoney Visa debit cards and a calculator / reader which keeps a running tabulation of your riches -- or lack thereof.

That ain't right.
