Wow! Monopoly

I was pleased to get a World of Warcraft Monopoly set for Christmas. Thank you.

But this makes my gripe over the currency in the Alan Turing set even more so. In that set, instead of £ (pounds) for currency, they use a generic Monopoly Money M currency.

Given that they are happy to use an appropriate currency for World of Warcraft (i.e. Gold), why not use pounds for the Alan Turing set????
