McDonald’s Canada Accepts Monopoly Money

April 14, 2011 by Chris Durso 2 Comments

To celebrate the recent McDonald’s Monopoly promotion, McDonald’s Canada was accepting Monopoly money as currency. Although the multi-colored toy bills were not accepted at face value, i.e., a Monopoly hundred could not buy 100 items off the dollar menu, the toy bill could be exchanged for a large fries.

Although this concept is marketing brilliance, it’s not too far removed from Canada’s everyday exchange. Last time I was in Montreal, my $10 bill was pink and had a goose on it… and it was only good for a small fries.

    Ok… Purple with Doves, not pink with goose, got it. And I have no idea who Sir A. MacDonald is. Did he invent hockey?

    You talk smack. The CDN $10 bill is purple, has Sir John A. MacDonald on it and two doves. And currently is worth more than it’s American counterpart.
