In a bit to soften the effects of the Credit Crunch, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling is to make Monoploy Money legal tender.
Speaking to us earlier, the Sam the Bald Eagle of British Politics told us: 'Monopoly Money will be legal Tender from the beginning of December. We decided that we would allow this for the month of December to allow people to have a better Christmas. Of course, in January when the sales hit, we want people to pay with proper money'
Sales of Monopoly have said to be soaring since the news was released. Mr Smith, a famous stationer told us: 'We have seen a thousand fold increase in the sale of Monopoly over the past week. We are expecting a massive sale of them at the weekend, when the news becomes public.
'Monopoly is a good family game, and it is always popular around Christmas time. It costs around £15 now, but each set will be worth thousands in the New Year. In the shot term, it is excellent news for us, but after December 1st the economy will be f*****'
