Monopoly Money
Calling the bolivar "Monopoly money" is an insult...to Monopoly money.
A standard Monopoly set comes with 20,580 Monopoly dollars.
The cheapest monopoly set for sale on Amazon retails for $12.99.
One U.S. dollar therefore = 1,584.29 Monopoly dollars.
Conclusion: the bolivar is now worth less than Monopoly money.
