Each new Monopoly game comes with 30 bills of the following denominations: $500, $100, $50, $20, $10, $5, and $1. Therefore the total amount of money per game is equivalent to $20,580.
Each player is given $1,500 divided as follows: 2 each of $500s, $100s and $50s; 6 $40s; 5 each of $10s, $5s and $1s.
All remaining money and other equipment go to the Bank. Stack the Bank's money on edge in the compartments in the plastic Banker's tray.
