Monopoly Man's Monocle
Rich Uncle Pennybags (the Monopoly mascot) is widely remembered as wearing a monocle, but he has never had one in any official Monopoly branding.
The Memory
The Monopoly Man wore a monocle in his right eye. He was the stereotypical wealthy figure — top hat, mustache, monocle.
Current Reality
No official Hasbro artwork, game box, or card has ever depicted Rich Uncle Pennybags with a monocle. He wears a top hat and has a mustache, but no monocle.
Significance
Likely confused with Mr. Peanut (Planters mascot) who does wear a monocle. But the strength and specificity of the false memory across demographics is notable.
