New Monopoly token: Cat replaces housewife's iron, good riddance!

So? What is/was your favorite Monopoly token? How were you as a Monopoly player? Were you a tycoon (always winning) or a bum (always losing)?

@tsarstepan,
And here I thought this was about Fluffy being used with spray starch.

@farmerman,
If there was a typewriter then that was before my time. I don't ever remember seeing it.

This is what you get for hiring non-union help.

@jespah,
Surely, you're not suggesting someone organize cats.

@roger,
Can you imagine what cats would pay with for their union dues?! Dead mice, waterbugs, and songbirds. Embarrassed Plus there always be perpetual strikes. Rolling Eyes

@tsarstepan,
I'm trying to visualize two cats with the same objective. I keep coming up short.

@tsarstepan,
That iron piece was supposed to be for a housewife? Never knew that. I just saw it as a playing piece which looked like a miniature iron. When with my parents, the ironing was usually done by my father (he also scrubbed the kitchen floor on his hands and knees) so I never addendum associated the piece with a housewife.

Strange what you learn years later about Monopoly playing pieces. Next thing you'll do is tell me that Baltic Avenue wasn't the best spot on the board.

As to favorite pieces, I don't know that I really had one.
