[Hasbro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-expansion-packs) celebrates the prolific [board game's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game) anniversary by randomly putting real bills in 80 separate sets. Available only in France, one set will have all of the Monopoly money replaced for a total of 20,580 euros -- about $23,268. Released secretly early this week, the Monopoly money stunt is a clever promotion that will turn ignite people's inner treasure hunter. Mashable reports, "The 80 sets will be hidden amongst 30,000 boxes of Monopoly, Monopoly Junior, and electronic and vintage varieties." This will make finding the replaced Monopoly money a worthy challenge. In addition to the jackpot set, 10 will contain around $370 worth of Monopoly money and 69 will be filled with about $170. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Real Money in Board Games:** Opportunity to enhance board game experiences by incorporating real money into gameplay. - **Interactive Promotions:** Innovative marketing campaigns that engage consumers through interactive elements. - **Treasure Hunt Experiences:** Creating treasure hunt-like experiences where consumers search for hidden rewards or prizes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Board Game Industry:** Introducing innovative features like incorporating real money to attract and excite consumers. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Developing interactive promotions that generate excitement and enhance brand engagement. - **Event Management Industry:** Organizing treasure hunt experiences or similar interactive events to captivate participants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bestselling Board Game Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-expansion-packs.md) - [Boardgame-Inspired Lifesize Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-lifesized-travel-edition.md) - [Collectible Anniversary Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-90th.md) - [Adult-Exclusive Reimagined Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl.md) - [Interactive Entertainment Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-entertainment-board-games.md) - [Financial Literacy Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-first-monopoly.md) - [Board Game-Themed Dynamic Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-collection.md) - [Mobile Economy Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-go.md) - [nostalgic slot machine designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/licensing-agreement-with-hasbro.md)
