Monopoly was first commercially released by Parker Brothers in 1935 — Hasbro did not acquire Parker Brothers until 1991, so attributing this as a Hasbro issue is technically anachronistic. The 1935 edition was produced by Parker Brothers of Salem, Massachusetts, and the play money printed for it was never assigned a catalog designation by any serious notaphilic authority.
Not a banknote. Not catalogable as one.
