At the very least, the guy tried using a form of currency used by certain established banks and organizations, primarily small private ones that fold within the span of several hours once one person manages to buy and control all the real estate within a 20" x 20" space or everyone agrees to quit that rat race and hit the bong.
I certainly would of been angry if I tried using more dubious forms of currency, like sea shells, pretty rocks, or bottle caps from Nuka-Cola bottles.

All but one player runs out of money, then someone flips the board out of frustration. In all likelihood, the winner's also getting a black eye.

The only way to win monopoly is to not play.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
