In reply to the discussion: Rest in pieces: Hasbro to replace a classic Monopoly game token [View all]Skip Intro
(19,768 posts)92. It was between the iron and the wheelbarrow, but the iron is just
boring to look at - that's why I picked it. Didn't really think about the symbolism, it just doesn't have any character, visually.
The wheelbarrow, though, symbolically, could be something a Monopoly tycoon could use to carry around his massive wealth.
What would you ditch if you couldn't ditch the iron or the wheelbarrow?

I don't remember anybody wanting the thimble either. Everybody wanted the car, though.

My sister always chose the thimble, I was the iron, my two cousins were the man on the horse & dog.

My sister's favorite piece is the thimble. She was glad no one was talking about it here.
