The French version of Monopoly is celebrating its 80th year by slipping cash into 80 boxes of the game.

One box will have the full complement in real money - 20,580 euros or about $23,600 - as well as the Monopoly money needed to actually play the game.

Another 79 boxes will have smaller amounts, according to Hasbro.

The Paris version lets players buy the Champs Elysees, four railroad stations and other famous avenues of the French capital.
