It is a standard game with special precautions. The board has a raised plastic surface, which is embossed with the Braille letters and raised signs like the arrow at Go and the question mark. This board is not folded and hence the transport box is exceptionally large! It also has compartments into which the houses and tokens sit, to prevent them from being knocked out of position. All the money and Chance and Community Chest cards are printed in Braille as well as large-sized text for the partial-sighted. There are 2 sets of title deeds: one is in Braille, and the other is in large print. The dice are very big (2 cm) and have raised dots. The houses, hotels and 10 playing tokens are the standard version.

There is a large print set of instructions, and also another set of instructions in Braille.

The price of this set amounted to £ 43.- (€ 62.25) July 1999.

Edition: Collector's Edition
Publisher: Franklin Mint -1992
Dimensions of the table: 7.5 x 52.5 x 52.5 cm
                                            + pedestal
The game:
Without exaggeration this "authorized" issue can be called The Game of the Games. The board is made of distinguished mahogany stained hardwood with a green felt-lined sunken midfield. The printing is in gold. Underneath the playfield is a sliding drawer for the banker, also green felt-lined. The drawer has a knob provided with a brass Monopoly game coin. On the other 3 sides of the set is a brass Monopoly plate.
The background of the streets is of the same mahogany color as the wood. Even the instructions and the "Real Estate Portfolio" are in this dignified color.
All 10 classic playing tokens are crafted in pewter and embellished with 22 carat gold, amongst them a purse and hurricane latern. The architecturally-designed houses and hotels are dycast and plated with silver and gold.
Also the banknotes have a luxury appearance and are special made for this "Collector's Edition". The number of banknotes is twice as much as usual. But for what reason?
The red Chance and yellow Community Chest cards have all funny illustrations with Uncle Pennybags, as usual.
The wooden pedestal for this set contains another 4 drawers for the players to collect their money and property cards. Finally the set can be covered by a glass plate, to protect for dust.

The summer-1998-edition of the Franklin Mint catalogue showed the English set still to be available. Prices:

Edition: Gold box 60 years, ref. 44020/102
Publisher: Tonka Corp./Waddingtons Games - 1995
Dimensions of the box: 11.5 x 29.8 x 29.8 cm
The game:
The gold colored box shows a nice illustration of a diamond on a green background on the cover and all its flanks as well as all flanks of the white inner box. Over the diamond is the red bar with Monopoly and Uncle Pennybags as well as a gold ribbon which says "1935 special anniversary edition 1995". The board is folded in four, it has a black back and a marble colored game side. The "limitation" of this edition is shown by a sticker with number on the game side of the board.

The nicely printed bottom of the box shows:

The game was manufactured in .... Great Britain.

Edition: Standard, ref. 44021/06951/102
Publisher: Tonka Corp./Waddingtons Games Ltd. - 1995
Dimensions of the box: 26.1 x 50.9 cm
The game:
It is not clear why this set, manufactured in Waterford - Ireland for Waddingtons Games , has 2 reference numbers. Perhaps because the lid of the box is now also in red - white - red (ref.nr.44021 of 1984) and shows the "collection of attributes" (2 tokens, stack of banknotes, but not those belonging to the set!, 2 stacks of property deeds, 2 dice, 2 houses and 3 hotels) as well, as they appear on the other European sets, manufactured in Ireland since 1992 (with ref.nr.06951). 
The height of the cover is now "normal" again, i.e. same as the height of the inner box.
Also new for Waddingtons is the richly illustrated bottom of the box. In this case however it is not the "laughing family playing Monopoly", but a display of all parts of the game. It clearly shows that the inner box with its red plastic insert servs as Banker's Tray, as is said on the rims. Unfortunately you will not find this nice Banker's Tray, but just a ordinary one with 12 holes!
The strong board with red back shows the word Monopoly in its center with open characters parallel to the first side. The fold of the board is parallel to side 2.
The banknotes are according the new austere design, without any copyright mention and with a black bar in the upper part of the circle with "Monopoly with Uncle Pennybags". These banknotes are also used with the Hasbro sets with ref.nr. 14535 since 1996.  
So this obviously  is a "transitional issue" from Waddingtons to Hasbro.
Also the 10 tokens, the houses and hotels are exactly the same as those of the game with ref.nr. 14535. The Chance and Community Chest cards do have a repeating text on the back side.

Edition: Standard, ref. 14535GB
Publisher: Tonka/Waddingtons/Hasbro - 1996
Dimensions of the box: 26.8 x 40.3 x 5.3 cm
of the double folded board: 25.2 x 25.2 cm
The game:
This edition is a sample of the "new look" of the games  manufactured in the Irish works. The fresh white box shows a red bar and a part of the fourth side of the board on the cover. The width and the length of the boxes are standardized for all of their games Hasbro told. So herewith the long box I called "standard" so far disappears.
This new box contains a red plastic tray insert with newly shaped slots for the banknotes and title cards of the banker. The board is folded in four like in the so-called "small box". The back side is red and the play side is blue green. The set is manufactured in Ireland and so it has a picture of a "laughing family" at the back of the box. On the board are the nice Chance and Community Chest cards of this game. The banknotes are of the new model, i.e. with a "black Monopoly banner and Uncle Pennybags" in the upper part of the circle and, almost unvisible, the remark "1996 Tonka Corporation".
The 10 tokens are of pewter and likely no longer manufactured in China. 
The green, plastic houses do have a chimney, the red hotels don't.

The price of this set amounted to £ 14.- (€ 20.45) October 1998.

Edition: The Original Opoly Game
             "The Original Atlantic City Folkgame upon
               which Mönopoly was directly based
Publisher: Restitution, Inc.-USA/
                  Discovery Publications (International) Ltd. - 1999
Dimensions of the box: 26.8 x 52.0 cm
The game:
This is what I will call the Great Britain issue of the game of the American inventor Ralph Anspach. On the lid it is said that "It is obviously not produced by our competitors Waddington and Winning Moves, the producers of Monopoly® game equipment. Furthermore it is also stated that this game is "Produced by the detectives who cracked a swindle and uncovered this suppressed game."

What is the case?
As prof. Ralph Anspach developed the Anti-Monopoly game for his students in the early seventies he was forced to go into history and so he discovered that since the start of the twentiest century monopoly-like games were made at home as Folkgames. From that commercial games like Finance and Easy Money originated in the thirties. Out of the monopoly game of the city of Atlantic City - New Jersey that was developped by a group of Quakers, finally the nowadays well-known game Monopoly arose.
The inventors in Atlantic City played on oil cloth boards, reason why this set, issued in their memory, contains such a kind of an oil cloth with the Atlantic City streets.
The purpose of the "solid board without street names" is to make your own game, like the Folkgamers did. To that purpose also neutral property deeds are supplied. The beige houses and yellow hotels are roughly sawed and crude, like the Folksgamers used to do! Again in memory of the inventor, the Quaker Jesse Raiford, the beautifully balanced prices of the properties are pre-printed on the neutral title cards.
There are no playing pieces provided because the Quakers did not buy playing pieces for their game. Instead, each player chose a personal item to function as playing piece, such as a ring, a thimble, a penny, a button, a cuff link, a toy car, a toy soldier and so on.

All printed matter suggest to be typed on an old-fashioned typewriter. The simple banknotes are made of colored paper and the denominations are: $1 (white) - $5 - $10 - $20 - $50 - $100 and $500. The Chance cards are blue and the Community Chest cards are yellow. The texts of these cards differ importantly of those we know so well, f.e.:

The names of the properties of this Original "oil cloth set" sometimes differ from the Monopoly game board the Americans play with today. Find the differences and also pay attention to the colors! 
From Go on they are:

Arctic Ave - Baltic Ave - Shore Fast Line - - Vermont Ave -- Connecticut Ave Jail - St. Charles Place - Atlantic City Electric - States Ave - Virginia Ave - Reading R.R. - St. James Place - Tennessee Ave - New York Ave - Free Parking - Kentucky Ave - Indiana Ave - Illinois Ave - Pennsylvania R.R. - Atlantic Ave - Ventnor Ave - Atlantic City Waterworks - Marven Gardens - Go To Jail - Pacific Ave - N. Carolina Ave - Pennsylvania Ave - New Jersey Central - Park Place and Boardwalk.

The Rules are those of "The fascinating game of Finance - An Easy Game for Everybody", which were originally copyrighted by Electronic Laboratories, Inc. in 1932.
A second annex explains how one can make his own "Original monopoly" game, at which Ralph Anspach goes into the word monopoly and the Sherman Antitrust Law of 1890.

(Already in 1986 a game was issued in Germany under the name of "DAS ORIGINAL", also develloped by Ralph Anspach. However that game goes back in history even more, namely till Lizzie J.Maggie's patent of 1904. See for its description chapter "Germany - Nowadays games").

Edition:Millennium Edition, Ref.#40942/102
Publisher: Waddingtons/Hasbro - 1999
Dimensions of the tin: 27 x 27 x 8.5 cm
of the double folded board: 25.2 x 25.2 cm
The game:
This very luxury issue entirely in silver, is identical to the American version, except for the game board that contains the streets of London.

The silverr-colored tin is in a blue plastic wrapping showing on its bottom the illustration as to the next picture. This clearly shows that the background of the board is also silver-colored. In this Mr.Monopoly (up till this issue for many decades called Uncle Pennybags) is holographically shown. Very nice! On the black back of the board is, again in silver, the Monopoly bar with there under "millennium edition".
It is really pitty that the plastic wrapping is so vulnerable and so easily tears. The 15 pages Rules, with magnificent detail pictures, has a luxury execution like the rest of this game.
Other remarkable novelties are:

Both Chance and Community Chest cards have silverr-colored backs with the number 2000 in the background.
There are 2 trays of black plastic in the high tin to store all these attributes. On top of that is the double folded game board that warps a bit, presumably caused by its special treatment.

Although also this issue excels in its luxury it can hardly be called original. This in contrast to Millenniumopoly, a theme game of Late for The Sky (only issued in the USA). In this game 26 highlights of twenty centuries of worldhistory are quoted, see chapter "USA - Related Games".

This game was "Made in U.S.A.".

The price of this tin amounted to £ 40 (US$ 65) November 1999.

Edition: Wood box with 1957 engine, Ref.40753/102
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro - 2003
Dimensions of the box: 5.3 x 26.3 x26.3 cm
The game:
Hasbro succeeded once more to make a gain for a collector with this "nostalgic" edition. As well on the push out lid as on 1 of the surfaces of the two times folded game board and the midfield of the board is the engine of the American 1957 edition.

When the game board has been taken out the the box a "banker's tray" remains with 6 holes to store the wooden houses and hotels, the property deeds and tokens, while notches in the partitions serve as holders for the remarkable small (43x96 mm) banknotes.
Because of their sepia background the property deeds (68x77 mm) have a very refined look. The small (45x76 mm) Chance- and Community Chest cards are nicely illustrated again. 
The 6 tokens (locomotive - thimble - hat - shoe - dog and racing car) are bronzy. 
Both small (11 mm) dice are ivory colored and have black pips.
The Rules are also "from the past", i.a. printed on a long narrow folded paper.

This carefully manufactured  edition was made in China.
