Irish tourists use Monopoly money to pay bar bill
12/08/2019
A PAIR of Irish holidaymakers were arrested and charged with minor fraud after attempting to pay for their drinks with Monopoly money.
The unnamed lads, both 18, were said to be drunk at the time.
They found some Monopoly bank notes on the floor in the bar they had entered in Magaluf’s Punta Ballena strip, famous for its nightclubs and pubs and also as a holiday hangout for young Brits.
According to the bar, these notes had been props for a promotional game earlier in the night, but were clearly not legal tender.
A waitress spotted the young men paying for their drinks with them, and called the police.
Their pockets were said to be ‘stuffed full’ with the Monopoly money.
They were arrested, charged and later released on bail.
