Samoa's numismatic program has long relied on licensed pop-culture themes to drive collector sales, operating through arrangements with the New Zealand-based Coin Invest Trust distribution network. This piece draws on Hasbro's Monopoly franchise, a board game derived from Elizabeth Magie's 1903 "Landlord's Game," which she designed explicitly to illustrate the economic harm of land monopolies — a satirical origin the franchise has spent a century commercially inverting.
