Which one is which?

One is a global standard and the other is rapidly inflating
Overview
The meme displays two side-by-side images of $1 bills. On the left is a genuine United States one-dollar bill featuring a portrait of George Washington, green and black ink, and standard US currency design elements (e.g., 'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DOLLAR' text). On the right is a one-dollar bill from the Monopoly board game, characterized by a gray and white color scheme, the word 'MONOPOLY' at the top, and a large central '1' in a white circle. Above the bills is the text 'One is a global standard', and below is 'and the other is rapidly inflating', creating a satirical comparison that playfully questions which bill fits each description—implying the US dollar as the global standard and Monopoly money (or humorously the dollar itself) as the one experiencing rapid inflation.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit's Meme community. It is created by combining two existing images: a photograph of a real US one-dollar bill and an image of Monopoly one-dollar currency. The creator likely used basic image editing software (e.g., Photoshop, mobile editors) to arrange the two bills horizontally and overlay the top and bottom text, resulting in a simple yet effective satirical commentary on currency and inflation.
