There’s more Monopoly money printed than actual US currency.

Hasbro, the company that brought the popular board game to the world, has more Monopoly bucks printed out than real money in the US Federal Reserve.

The toymakers produce Monopoly money by the truckload, $30 billion, in fact, a paltry amount to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s $974 million annual production.

According to the Federal Reserve, currency in circulation increased by $212.8 billion dollars between June 2020 and June 2021.

Of course, there’s no way of knowing how much Monopoly money is destroyed or trashed each year, so it’s not an easy statistic to compare.

Either way, there is a lot of real money, and a lot of Monopoly money, printed on an annual basis. But if you look at the cold, hard facts, despite fake ‘facts’ online then there is more real money printed each year in the United States than Monopoly money.

India is likely to be another. While the country hasn’t published stats on how many rupees were printed each year, there are estimated to be more than 28 trillion rupees in circulation as banknotes. It’s highly probable that more than 30 billion was printed in one year to replace old notes.
