Well for a start the London version of monopoly that I know which is
commonly used in the Uk doesn't use Dollars :D.
Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i originally
played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around the
board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players
didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice
important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in
players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they
will arive on the first few squares at different times.
There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with
that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that
cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free
parking can take it, ---- though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and
I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in
real life :d.
And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom monopoly
games with different rules and cards, ---- albeit I've unfortunately never
really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible version
in braille is the bog standard original one.
Beware the Grue!

The official rules are 2 $500 bills, 2 $100 bills, 2 $50 bills, 6 $20
bills, 5 $10 bills, 5 $5 bills, and 5 $1 bills. I wonder if they are
different in the UK, although I wouldn't think so.

Wow Haiden, those aren't the distributions I know. In all the rules I
know it's 4 hundreds, one fifty, two tens, a twenty a 5 and 5 1's,
nothing about six 20's. but I suspect this is something where different
rules are used in different places and after all it doesn't really matter
so long as each player has a good selection of change to pay small bills
with.
Beware the Grue!

Hi,
If I might chime in: the money distributions were:
500-2, 100-2, 50-2, 20-6, 10-5, 5-5, 1-5, with the first number being
the denomination and the second being the number of said denomination
given to each player.
Best Regards,
Hayden

Hi Milos,
This is in deed on topic so no worries. When this list was originally
established back in the mid 90's the list included all accessible games
including standard board, puzzle, and card games in braille as well as
electronic versions. So I am glad you asked your questions here. As to
your questions here are your answers.
As far as distributing the money the instructions give the exact amounts
how the money is to be divided up among the players. I don't remember
the exact amounts off the top of my head, but if you have a braille or
audio instruction manual it will tell you how to divide the money
between players.
To buy a property in Monopoly you must give the banker the amount of
money for the property listed on the deed, and in return he or she will
give you the deed to the property.
To mortgage a property you will have to give the banker the deed to that
property and in return he or she will give you the mortgage value listed
on the deed. He or she will write it down on a piece of paper that this
or that property is mortgaged and probably keep it in a separate pile
from the unsold deeds.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I think that this is not Off-Topic. It is about a game that is
accessible, although it is not neither video nor audio game but a
braille monopoly that I ordered on Ebay and it arrived some time ago.
Now I am trying to play and have some questions, and if this is
off-topic I will make no objections if the moderators close it.
First, let me say that I know the rules and that I am very experienced
player in all audio versions of Monopoly. So the rules are not the
problem, but the questions are about applying them in the physical
game, that is, how to do some things that the computer does in a
digital version instead.
1. When your token lands on a field and you want to buy it, how do you
do it? Do you just take the card where that property info is written?
2. How does one distribute the money? The board comes with a number of
banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 dollars. How to distribute the
money at the beginning so that everyone has 1500 dollars as the rules
state, and still to be able to pay, say, 2, 3, 14 or 223 dollars?
3. How to mark a property that is mortgaged?
Another set of questions may come up soon, so thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Miloš Pržic
