Slightly off-topic, but thought I'd share since you asked about the monopoly pieces.
My job often takes me out to do follow ups at people's homes and I was on one such follow up today. When I arrived at the house I found a woman, probably in her 20s, sitting on the front steps. I asked her if the person I needed to see was home and while she was answering me I noticed that she had probably a 3 inch thick stack of unused McDonald's paper french fry wrappers in her hand. She was methodically going through them and pulling off the monopoly pieces

She told me her sister worked at McDonalds when I asked her how she got so many - there had to over a hundred in her hand - at the least.
My wife was furious when I told her the story because she plays the game every year and never wins anything - now she knows why
