"In 1933, the story goes, Charles Darrow plucked
trinkets from his wife’s charm bracelet and used
them as tokens for a prototype of Monopoly.
Before long those charms were replaced by top
hats, irons and thimbles. Years later, sportsthemed
tokens were added to complement new
editions of what had become America’s best-
selling board game. No matter which sporty
version you play, passing Go with any of these
tokens—each requires 48 hours to mold from
zinc—is still worth an always-welcome $200."
