For this project, we had to choose a preexisting currency to redesign. This project aimed to learn how to implement a story/meaning and be purposeful behind our designs. We also had to take into account the audience who would be using the currency, implementing counterfeit elements and recognizable imagery.

In the game Monopoly, the ideas of power and wealth are key. It is also a popular game with very well-known pieces. Currently, the money in the game is straightforward and to the point, so I wanted to make it more personable and represent the game more. I included imagery from key events from the game like the pawns, houses, train, etc. as well as adding a comedic factor into each type of banknote.
