The cat game piece received 31 percent of the online votes to beat out four other contenders, a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar. (Photo illustration by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Here’s another sign that we’re careening toward a world with no paper money and lots of talking robots: Now even MONOPOLY is going that route.
A new version of Monopoly is coming to stores soon, and it’s totally cashless!

All the banking is done electronically, by a voice-controlled, talking top hat in the middle of the board.
